It seems like the informa pauperis application was filed after some delays and complications in the legal process. While it's understandable to feel concerned about the timing, it's essential to remain proactive in addressing any mistakes or oversights. Since the application was filed on February 14th and the trial court has not responded yet, it's crucial to wait for their response before taking further action.
In the meantime, you may want to consider reaching out to the trial court clerk to inquire about the status of your informa pauperis application. Politely explain the situation and express your eagerness to move forward with the appeal process. Additionally, if there are any specific requirements or documents needed to supplement your application, ensure that you fulfill them promptly to avoid further delays.
If the trial court does not respond within a reasonable timeframe, you may need to explore other avenues for assistance, such as seeking guidance from a legal aid organization or consulting with an attorney. They can provide valuable insights and support to help navigate the complexities of the legal system and ensure that your rights are protected throughout the appeal process.
