When can a federal district court filing fee be waived?
Q. You'd think In Forma Pauperis is for prisoners only by reading 28USC Sec. 1915 Proceedings in forma pauperis ( http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode28/usc_sec_28_00001915-... ), but there's both an "In Forma Pauperis - General" and an "In Forma Pauperis - Prisoner" form under "Pro Se Forms" at http://www.nyed.uscourts.gov/General_Information/Court_Forms/ . Is there a statutory basis for waiving the filing fee for poor non-prisoners? I may "REQUEST TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS" in an FOIA case, and I'm not a prisoner. The filing fee was raised from $250 to $350 this year.
A. -The Feds are doing everything they can to discourage suits from being filed in Federal court, in line with the current administration's policies to make life difficult for the little guy vs. the government and big corporations. Trust me, GM and
