Proceedings In Forma Pauperis

affidavit that he or she is unable to pay costs or give security as provided in 28 U.S.C. §
1915.
In all civil cases initiated without payment of fees and costs, the plaintiff shall
stipulate in an affidavit that any recovery in the action shall, pursuant to the order of the
Court, be paid to the Clerk of Court, who shall pay therefrom any remaining unpaid costs
taxed against the plaintiff and remit the balance to the plaintiff or the plaintiff’s attorney.
