California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Andrus v. Municipal Court, 143 Cal.App.3d 1041, 192 Cal.Rptr. 341 (Cal. App. 1983):
In March v. Municipal Court, supra, 7 Cal.3d 422, 102 Cal.Rptr. 597, 498 P.2d 437, seven misdemeanants convicted in the same proceeding petitioned the superior court for a free transcript on appeal. Six filed statements of indigency. The superior court denied relief to all seven on two grounds, insufficiency of the showing of indigency and lack of a bona fide effort to obtain a settled statement on appeal.
