Bruce v. Samuels

Bruce v. Samuels, 577 U.S. ___ (2016), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 requires prisoners to pay twenty percent of their prior month's income for each case they file. The Court rejected the petitioner's argument that prisoners were only required to pay a maximum of twenty percent of their monthly income, even if they file multiple cases.

Opinion of the Court
Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg authored a unanimous decision.
