Application To Proceed In Forma Pauperis

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS. This form is used in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon by individuals who wish to file a civil lawsuit but cannot afford to pay the court filing fees. The form allows a plaintiff to request permission to proceed without prepayment of these fees under 28 U.S.C. § 1915, based on their financial hardship. The applicant must provide detailed information about their financial status, including employment, income, assets, expenses, debts, and any dependents. If the applicant is incarcerated, the form also requires a certified statement from the correctional institution verifying the individual’s account balance and financial activity over the past six months. This information helps the court determine whether the plaintiff is genuinely unable to pay the required fees. If approved, the individual may proceed with their case without paying the standard costs upfront, although incarcerated applicants may still be required to pay the full filing fee over time from their prison trust accounts. www.FormsWorkflow.com
