Text

If an application is denied, the state may move for an order requiring the applicant to
reimburse the state for costs and for litigation expenses paid for the applicant from public funds.
The court may grant the motion if it finds that the applicant's claim is so completely lacking in
factual support or legal basis as to be frivolous or that the applicant has deliberately misused
process. The court may require reimbursement of costs and expenses only to the extent
reasonable in light of the applicant's present and probable future financial resources.
