Halm ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S FEE WAIVER REQUEST ORDER SETTING ASIDE PETITIONER’S DEFAULT The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that it entered an order holding Petitioner in default on September 9, 2025, because Petitioner failed to pay the requisite $125.00 petition filing fee. On September 17, 2025, Petitioner filed a fee waiver request with the Tribunal. The request indicates that fees should be waived for the above-captioned case because Petitioner receives public assistance through Medicaid. The Tribunal has considered the request and the case file and finds that Petitioner has shown good cause to grant the request. Thus, Petitioner’s $125.00 petition filing fee shall be waived. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Fee Waiver Request is GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the Petitioner’s DEFAULT shall be SET ASIDE.
