Bruce v. Samuels
United States Supreme Court; Case No. 14-844
Prior Decision
Decision below Pinson v. Samuels, 761 F.3d 1 (D.C.Cir. Oct. 22, 2014).
Argument(s)
Congress enacted the PLRA against the background of this country's tradition of access to the courts and the opportunity for judicial redress. The fee-collection provision of the PLRA reflects a careful balance. The "Per Case" approach threatens to deter meritorious lawsuits.
