Motion for Reconsideration
Title and Introduction:
Dear Honorable Judge [Judge's Name],
I, [Your Name], am writing to formally request a reconsideration of my current probation conditions, specifically the recommendation for long-term inpatient treatment. I am requesting a second evaluation from a different source and a change of probation officer.
Background:
Currently, I am under probation supervised by Bulloch County. I am the sole caretaker for my elderly mother and disabled stepfather, both of whom require constant care. My probation officer has recommended long-term inpatient treatment based on an evaluation I believe is inaccurate.
Argument:
I attended an AA meeting as required, but my probation officer claimed I did not, without proper investigation. Additionally, there were discrepancies in my drug tests. I believe a second evaluation from an independent source is necessary to ensure a fair assessment. Due to trust issues and the treatment I have received from my current probation officer, I am also requesting a change of probation officer.
Conclusion:
I respectfully request that the court reconsider the conditions of my probation, allow for a second evaluation, and assign a different probation officer to my case.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Emergency Motion for Stay
Title and Introduction:
Dear Honorable Judge [Judge's Name],
I, [Your Name], am writing to urgently request a stay of the requirement to attend the long-term inpatient treatment program scheduled to begin on [Date]. This request is made due to financial hardship and my responsibilities as the primary caretaker for my elderly mother and disabled stepfather.
Background:
I am currently on probation supervised by Bulloch County. My probation officer has ordered me to enroll in a long-term inpatient treatment program starting on [Date]. This requirement presents significant challenges due to my financial situation and caretaker responsibilities.
Argument:
I am unable to afford the costs of the treatment program, which is $* per month. Additionally, I am the sole caretaker for my elderly mother and disabled stepfather, both of whom rely on me for daily support and assistance. Attending this program would leave them without necessary care.
Conclusion:
Given these circumstances, I respectfully request that the court grant a stay on the treatment requirement until a decision is made regarding my Motion for Reconsideration and Motion for Indigency. This stay is critical to ensure that my family is not left without care and that I can address the financial hardship associated with the treatment program.

Motion for Indigency
Title and Introduction:
Dear Honorable Judge [Judge's Name],
I, [Your Name], am writing to formally request the court to recognize my status as indigent and to waive any fees associated with my probation requirements and motions, due to financial hardship.
Background:
I am currently on probation supervised by Bulloch County. I am the sole caretaker for my elderly mother and disabled stepfather, and my financial resources are extremely limited. I recently lost my job of six years due to the company shutting down.
Argument:
I am unable to afford the costs associated with my probation requirements, including the long-term inpatient treatment program which costs $* per month. My financial situation makes it impossible for me to comply with this requirement. I have attached an Affidavit of Indigency and other relevant financial documents to support my request.
Conclusion:
Given my financial hardship and caretaker responsibilities, I respectfully request that the court grant my Motion for Indigency and waive any associated fees. This will allow me to focus on complying with probation requirements without further financial strain.

Re: Case No. [Your Case Number]
Request for Second Opinion Assessment
Dear Honorable Judge [Judge's Name],
I, [Your Name], am writing to formally request a second opinion assessment regarding the recommendation for long-term inpatient treatment that has been made by my probation officer. I believe that the initial assessment is inaccurate and does not take into account my unique circumstances and responsibilities.
Background:
I am currently on probation supervised by Bulloch County. I am the sole caretaker for my elderly mother and disabled stepfather, both of whom require constant care. My probation officer has recommended that I enroll in a long-term inpatient treatment program based on an evaluation that I believe is flawed.
Argument:
*. AA Meeting Attendance: I attended an AA meeting as required, but my probation officer claimed I did not attend without proper investigation.
*. Drug Test Discrepancies: There were discrepancies in my drug tests, with a saliva test showing positive for benzodiazepines and a subsequent urine test showing negative.
*. Caretaker Responsibilities: As the sole caretaker for my elderly mother and disabled stepfather, enrolling in a long-term inpatient program would leave them without necessary care and support.
Request:
Given these circumstances, I respectfully request that the court grant a second opinion assessment from an independent source to ensure a fair and accurate evaluation of my situation. This assessment will help determine the most appropriate course of action for my treatment and probation conditions.
Conclusion:
I respectfully request that the court consider my request for a second opinion assessment and take into account my financial hardship and caretaker responsibilities when making a decision regarding my probation conditions.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
