Re: Citizen vs. CIR, docket # 224xxx

Dear Clerk of Court;

Please find enclosed my amended petition to the tax court.

I request permission to file my petition in forma pauperis. I request that the filing fees be waived due to my indigence.

I am not gainfully employed. I own no real-estate or any properties. I have no investments, no assets, no stocks and bonds, and no savings account. I do not own anything and I do not have enough money to pay my bills.

Therefore, I request that the filing fees be waived.

Also enclosed is my form for designated place of trial.

Yours,

Henry Patriot
