Requirements - Motion to Vacate

Before You Begin

Please read the following carefully.

Filing Fee

There is no filing fee required for a motion to vacate filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255.

Application to Proceed Without Prepaying Fees or Costs / Financial Affidavit

If you are requesting an attorney, you will be required to scan and submit a completed application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP), so the Court can determine if you are able (or unable) to afford an attorney. This submission requires you to submit a completed IFP application form as well as a copy of your trust fund account statement for the last six months. The application must be signed by you and certified by an authorized jail or prison official. You will be required to scan and submit these materials before you proceed.

If you are required to submit a completed IFP application and you do not have one, click the Exit button below and return when you are ready.

Please indicate below how you intend to proceed:

I am not requesting an attorney at this time (no IFP application required)

I will be submitting a motion for attorney representation (completed IFP application required before proceeding)

Do you have documents or exhibits that you would like to scan in addition to your IFP application?

Yes

I confirm that I have all required documents, if any, completed, signed, and ready to scan.
