Halfacre v. Kelley
Annotate this CaseThe Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed and remanded in part the order of the circuit court denying Appellant’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis and ordering the Arkansas Department of Correction to withhold the applicable filing fee from Appellant's inmate account, holding (1) there was no error in including Appellant’s Veterans’ Administration disability benefits in determining Appellant’s indigency status pursuant to federal law; but (2) applicable federal law prohibits the circuit court from ordering that the filing fee be paid from Appellant’s trust account where the account proceeds are derived entirely from Appellant’s disability benefits.
