The Prison Litigation Reform Act Consent to Collection of Fees (for mandamus) is a form of consent which allows a court to collect fees from a prisoner who is filing a petition for a writ of mandamus. This form of consent is required when a prisoner is filing a petition under the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLEA). The fees collected are used to cover the costs of litigation, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and attorney fees. The consent must be signed by both the prisoner and the court before any fees can be collected. There are two types of Prison Litigation Reform Act Consent to Collection of Fees (for mandamus): the Consent to Collection of Fees and the Consent to Collection of Fees with Reimbursement. The Consent to Collection of Fees allows the court to collect fees from the prisoner without the need for reimbursement. The Consent to Collection of Fees with Reimbursement allows the court to collect fees from the prisoner and then reimburse the prisoner if the court determines that the prisoner is financially unable to pay the fees.
