17 CIVIL ACTIONS FILED BY INMATES Process Map
 When an inmate files a petition in a civil action, it must be accompanied with the
appropriate filing fees as set forth in the Accounting Manual, or a motion for leave to
proceed In Forma Pauperis (IFP). If the motion is filed In Forma Pauperis, follow the
instructions for Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis below.
NOTE: If a filing fee or motion to proceed In Forma Pauperis does not accompany the
petition, return the petition to the inmate.

17.1 Filing Fee
If the petition is accompanied by a filing fee, the case proceeds as any other civil action. To
continue, follow the instructions in Civil Actions.
NOTE: When an inmate commences, intervenes, or joins an action or an appeal of a
judgment in a civil action or proceeding, the inmate shall pay at least partial court fees
and costs. At a minimum, the inmate shall pay a five ($5) filing fee unless the court
determines the inmate is unable to pay a fee and waives all fees and costs. See Motion
for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. KRS 454.410.
