The New York Affidavit in Support of an Application to Proceed as a Poor Person Authorizing the State to Pay the Costs for the Production of a Stenographic Transcript is a legal document filed in the court system to permit a person to proceed with a legal action without paying any court fees. The affidavit states that the person is unable to pay the court costs associated with the legal action and that the state should pay for these costs, including the production of a stenographic transcript. This affidavit must include the applicant’s name, address, and financial information. It must also include the signature of the applicant, an attestation of the truth of the statements made, and a certification by a court-appointed attorney or an officer of the court that the person is eligible to proceed as a poor person. The two types of New York Affidavit in Support of an Application to Proceed as a Poor Person Authorizing the State to Pay the Costs for the Production of a Stenographic Transcript are the Affidavit of Support and the Application to Proceed as a Poor Person. The Affidavit of Support is used when a person is seeking to proceed without paying court fees, while the Application to Proceed as a Poor Person is used when a person is seeking to proceed with a legal action without paying any court costs.
