As stated in Local Rule 1006-1 B
B. Refund of Filing Fees
- Upon the filing of an ex parte application, the Clerk is authorized to issue refunds for the following without a court order:
- Fees collected without authority;
- Duplicate credit card payments;
- Payments that result from a duplicate pleading erroneously filed through CM/ECF;
or - Fees collected due to the Clerk’s administrative error.
- All other requests for refunds must be made by ex parte motion for judicial determination.
- If a party filed a document for which a fee should be charged but the manner of filing did not automatically trigger a fee notification, the Clerk may, without an order, administratively correct the filing and collect the fee.
