After an affidavit is referred to a judge, the judge has two options: grant the waiver request without hearing or schedule a hearing to determine the applicant's eligibility for a waiver. See G. L. c. 261, § 27C (3) - (4) (court may not deny request for waiver based on indigency without first holding hearing). Where a judge decides that a hearing is necessary to determine the applicant's eligibility for a waiver of costs and fees, such hearing must take place within five days. G. L. c. 261, § 27C (3).
