1. This case presents a significant question of law—namely, whether, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), district courts may impose a partial filing fee on in forma pauperis civil litigants, or instead must waive entirely the $350 filing fee statutorily set by Congress in 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a).

2. Unlike the decision below, Petitioner's position is consistent with the plain text of 28 U.S.C. § 1914 and § 1915(a)(1), which do not afford district courts discretion to impose a partial filing fee.

Whether 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1) permits district courts to impose partial filing fees on non-prisoner civil litigants or requires complete fee waiver
