A Connecticut Prisoner's Application to Proceed in Form Paupers in a Civil Rights Action is a document filed in court by an incarcerated individual in the state of Connecticut who is bringing a lawsuit based on alleged civil rights violations. The Application is used to request the court to waive the fees associated with filing the lawsuit, on the grounds that the prisoner cannot afford to pay them. The Connecticut Application is specific to Connecticut prisoners, as the requirements vary by state. There are two primary types of Connecticut Prisoner's Application to Proceed in Form Paupers in a Civil Rights Action: the "In Form Paupers" (IFP) Application and the "Application for Waiver of Fees and Costs" (AFC). The IFP Application is used when the prisoner is requesting the court to waive the fees associated with filing a civil rights action. The AFC Application is used when the prisoner is requesting the court to waive the fees associated with other related court costs, such as deposition expenses or expert witness fees. Both Applications require the prisoner to provide detailed information about their financial situation, such as their income, assets, and expenses. The prisoner must also provide an explanation of why they are unable to pay the fees associated with filing their civil rights action, as well as a declaration that the information provided is true and accurate. Once the Application is complete, the prisoner must sign it and submit it to the court for review.
