L.A.R. 24.3: Issuance of Order

If the affidavit in support of a motion to proceed in forma pauperis demonstrates that the appellant qualifies for in forma pauperis status and the appellant is not precluded from proceeding in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), the clerk will issue an order granting in forma pauperis status. If 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b) applies, the order will direct prison officials to assess and deduct the filing fees in accordance with the statute and transmit such fees to the appropriate district court. The clerk must send a copy of the order to the prisoner, the warden of the prison where appellant is incarcerated, and the appropriate district court.

Technical changes were made in 1997 to conform to the Prison Litigation Reform Act.
