New York Motion for Leave to Proceed in Form Paupers on Appeal (also known as an IFP Motion) is a legal request that asks the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York to allow an appellant to proceed with their appeal without having to pay the court fees. This motion is typically filed by an appellant who cannot afford to pay the court fees associated with an appeal and seeks to have the fees waived. The motion must explain why the appellant cannot afford the fees and must include a financial affidavit outlining the appellant's income and assets. The motion must also include an affirmation from the appellant's attorney attesting to the appellant's financial inability to pay the court fees. There are two types of New York Motion for Leave to Proceed in Form Paupers on Appeal: a general motion and an indigent motion. A general motion is filed by an appellant who cannot afford the court fees but still has a certain amount of assets. An indigent motion is filed by an appellant who has no assets and is completely unable to pay the court fees.
