The appellant shall be required to pay a filing fee when filing the notice of appeal. The fee shall be thirty-five dollars ($35.00). In criminal cases where the appellant has insufficient assets and income to pay the filing fee or where such payment would work an undue hardship, the Tribal Court will waive the fee. Any appellant who feels eligible for such waiver shall petition the Tribal Court for an order waiving the fee. The petition shall be accompanied by a signed affidavit setting forth petitioner’s assets and income. Forms will be provided to the appellant upon request made to the Clerk. The Tribal Court shall adopt a schedule showing the maximum income and assets for which waiver by the Court shall be mandatory. Real property held in trust by the United States shall be excluded from the schedule. Assets and income exceeding this amount will not preclude the Tribal Court from granting a waiver, but waiver will be purely at the discretion of the Tribal Court. No fee shall be required for appeals taken by the Tribal Government of St. Paul Island. [2008 Code § 2.4.7; Res. 1999-17]
