The Louisiana Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Short Form) is a form used by individuals who cannot afford to pay for court fees and costs in order to participate in civil court proceedings. The application is used by individuals who are seeking to have the court waive the fees and costs associated with filing a civil lawsuit in a state district court. The application is a two-page document that must be completed in its entirety, signed by the applicant, and filed with the court clerk. There are two types of Louisiana Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Short Form): one for individuals who are represented by an attorney and one for individuals who are proceeding without an attorney. The form must include the applicant’s name, address, and the reason why they cannot pay the associated court fees and costs. The form also requires the applicant to provide financial information such as income, assets, and debts. Upon review of the application, the court will make a determination whether the applicant is eligible to have their court fees and costs waived.
