REQUEST FOR AUTHORITY TO INCUR COSTS (APPOINTED COUNSEL) AND REQUEST FOR PAYMENT
REQUEST OF PRO BONO FOR PRE-APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURES
Complete this form and return it to the court (with two copies) for approval prior to incurring the cost for which reimbursement is requested.
I, Chijioke O. Ikonte, attorney for plaintiff(s), declare as follows:
I was appointed to represent plaintiff(s) in this action on April 15, 2021, by the Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller, United States District Judge/Magistrate Judge.
I believe that the following course of action is reasonably necessary to the prosecution of this action:
Counsel seeking reimbursement must support all claimed expenses by submitting invoices, receipts or similar documentation. Without such documentation, counsel will not be reimbursed.
I have made reasonable inquiry and believe that the cost of this course of action will not exceed the amount of $ 4500 .
I therefore request that this court authorize the expenditure in an amount not to exceed that stated above for the completion of this contemplated course of action.
