P1513 A non-resident plaintiff may be required to post an undertaking to secure an award of costs, but a person seeking waiver of the bond is not required to obtain permission to proceed in forma pauperis or meet the formal requirements involved in obtaining such permission; while the party seeking waiver has the burden of establishing indigence, there is an entire spectrum of ways to do so, including a declaration without supporting documentation; before ruling on a request for a waiver, the trial court should tell the applicant specifically what substantiation it requires and give her/him an opportunity to provide it.CitationALSHAFIE v LALLANDE (Costs Undertaking) 171 CA4 421 [See: CCP 1030, 995.240; Yao v Superior Court 104 CA4 327, P/AT 1/03; Baltayan v Getemyan 90 CA4 1427, P/AT 9/01]
