PETITION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AND PROCEED ON APPEAL IN FORMA PAUPERIS PRO SE APPELLANT

I, Michael Williams, declare that I am the Defendant in the above-entitled proceeding. I am not an attorney, do not have the funds necessary to retain one, have not been appointed one despite my many persistent requests, and am thus being forced to prepare this Petition myself, without the assistance of counsel, even though I am not qualified to do so. I am preparing this Petition to the best of my ability with information obtained in a telephone conversation with the Pro Se Clerk for the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago, Illinois.

I, Michael Williams, Pro Se Petitioner, do hereby move this Court for leave to file the above-entitled cause in forma pauperis; said motion is supported by the attached Affidavit of Financial Status.

                                                Respectfully submitted,
