A Louisiana Inmate 1983 Motion for IFP (In Form Paupers) is a legal document filed by a prisoner in a Louisiana state prison. The motion seeks permission from the court to waive the fees associated with filing a legal action in the Louisiana court system. The motion must be signed by the prisoner and can include such items as a financial affidavit, a statement of facts, and any other applicable documents that demonstrate the prisoner’s financial hardship. There are two types of Louisiana Inmate 1983 Motion for IFP: the original motion and the amended motion. The original motion is filed when a prisoner is initially asking the court to waive filing fees. The amended motion is filed when a prisoner is seeking additional relief or seeking to modify the original motion.
