Order On Prisoners Petition For Waiver Of Prepayment Of Fees-Costs {CV-439}

CV-439 - ORDER ON PRISONER’S PETITION FOR WAIVER OF PREPAYMENT OF FEES/COSTS. This form is used by Wisconsin Circuit Courts to review and rule on a request submitted by an incarcerated individual seeking to file a legal action without paying fees and costs upfront. This form allows the court to determine whether the petitioner has submitted all necessary documentation, including proof of indigency, authorization to deduct funds from their trust account, and evidence of having exhausted all available administrative remedies when the case involves prison or jail conditions. The court also reviews whether the petitioner is subject to Wisconsin’s “Three Dismissals” rule, which can bar further fee waivers if the prisoner has previously filed multiple frivolous or dismissed cases. Based on these findings, the court may grant the petition fully (if the petitioner is indigent), grant it conditionally (if the petitioner has partial funds available), or deny it (if documentation is missing, the petitioner has not exhausted remedies, has three or more dismissals, or is not indigent). If granted, the order may allow the case to proceed without payment of filing, service, or transcript fees, and sets procedures for collecting payments from the prisoner's trust or release accounts. §814.29, Wisconsin Statutes. www.FormsWorkflow.com
