PART C

(Fill out this section only if you claim that you are indigent. You must attach a sworn Financial Statement on form CR-206. Note: AS 18.85.100(c) limits the appointment of counsel in post conviction relief proceedings.)

I request that the filing fee be partially waived for this application. I am attaching:

• 1. a filled out CIV-670 PRISONER REQUEST FOR FILING FEE EXEMPTION;
• 2. a filled out CR-206 FINANCIAL STATEMENT; and
• 3. a certified copy of my prisoner account statement for the past six months from the Department of Corrections (DOC).

I request that the court appoint an attorney to represent me in this proceeding because I cannot afford to pay for one. I understand that:

• 1. I must attach a filled out CR-206 FINANCIAL STATEMENT to this application.
• I must provide to the court all financial information requested by the court so the court can decide if I qualify for an appointed attorney. This information may be made available to the Attorney General after the conclusion of this proceeding. If I give false information, it may be used to prosecute me for perjury.
• 2. If my financial situation changes and I do not report this to the court, the law requires my appointed attorney to do so.
• 3. If my application for post conviction relief is denied, the court will enter a judgment against me which will require me to pay part of the cost of my appointed attorney. In most cases the court will use the schedule shown below to determine the amount I will be required to pay. However, in unusual circumstances, the court may enter judgment against me for more or less than the scheduled amount. After the judgment is entered, I may request the court to reduce the amount of the judgment if payment would cause manifest hardship to me or my family.

* Pamphlet CR-204 explaining the benefits and costs of court-appointed counsel is available from the court.
