                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

PROVISIONS WHICH APPLY TO CRIMINAL AS WELL AS CIVIL CASES; WHEN PLAINTIFF IN
ERROR UNABLE TO PAY PRINTING COSTS (§ 19.2-325)

Sections 8.01-675.1, 8.01-675.2, 8.01-675.3, 8.01-684 and 17.1-328 shall apply
as well to criminal cases as to civil cases. In a felony case in the Court of
Appeals or the Supreme Court, if the plaintiff in error files with the Clerk of
the Court an affidavit that he is unable to pay or secure to be paid the costs
of printing the record in the case, together with a certificate of the judge of
the trial court to the effect that he has investigated the matter and is of
opinion that the plaintiff in error is unable to pay, or secure to be paid, such
costs, the printing shall be done as if the costs had been paid and the clerk
shall not be required to account for and pay the same into the state treasury.
However, if the costs are not paid or secured to be paid and upon the hearing of
the case the judgment of the court below is wholly affirmed by the Court of
Appeals and no appeal granted by the Supreme Court, or wholly affirmed by the
Supreme Court where appeal is granted, the Court in affirming the judgment shall
also give judgment in behalf of the Commonwealth against the plaintiff in error
for the amount of the costs to be taxed by its clerk.
