E X T O R T’I 0 N Extortion is illegal by Federal Law. My name is Billy Locke. I sent a letter to the Federal Courthouse in chattanooga, TN on 7/29/2015 requesting my court transcripts of my trail and sentencing. The courts found me to be indigent throughout my intire trial. The courts had sent me a letter back telling me that I had to send them $130.00 dollars for my transcript. I told them that I was indigent and was found to be indigent by the courts at my trial.v Well the only thing that has changed is that I am now in prison and indigent. And this they were also told. But they still are trying to charge me $130.00 dollars for my transcripts. this is what I and my family and friends pay taxes for is it not. The courts know that I can not proceed pro se in fighting my case without them. So why is this federal court trying to extort money from the indigent and poor people of this country when they know that we do not have any to send. An; they know that the people has got to have those transcripts in order to even have a chance to get out of prison. These courts are not just putting my life in jeopardy they are putting thousands of lifes in jeopardy. Because of their greed and trying to extort money from the indigent and the poor people of this land. Could someone tell me how it is legal for he federal courts to extort money from the poor and indigent. Because you know if we was to try something like this they would have us in jail faster then you can blink you eyes. The courts are not just extorting money from inmates, they are also cheating the tax payers too. Respectfully submitted Billy Locke Reg. No. 43986-074 U.S.P. Atlanta P.O. BOX 150160 Atlanta, GA 30315
