Motion For Out-Of-Pocket Expenses {ILSD MOOPE}

MOTION FOR OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES. This form is used in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois by pro bono counsel to request reimbursement for expenses incurred while representing a plaintiff without charge. Under Section 2.6 of the Plan for the Administration of the District Court Fund, attorneys may seek repayment for reasonable out-of-pocket costs exceeding $75.00, provided they supply detailed explanations and documentation of those expenses. The form specifies that the maximum reimbursement available is $5,000, subject to the availability of funds, and that filing fees assessed under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 are not eligible for reimbursement. By submitting this motion, pro bono counsel ensures that they can recover necessary litigation-related costs while continuing to provide representation to individuals who may not otherwise be able to afford legal services. www.FormsWorkflow.com
