CJA PANEL ATTORNEYS )
GENERAL ORDER
The Court hereby authorizes CJA Panel Attorneys to submit interim vouchers for
payment of fees and expenses without prior Court approval. The initial voucher may be
submitted no sooner than four months after the date of appointment. Subsequent interim
vouchers may be submitted when the current interim voucher amount is greater than $4,000
or at four months after the date of the previously submitted interim voucher. Within 45
days of the conclusion of the representation, counsel should submit a final voucher, without
regard to the amount of the claim or the date of any previously submitted voucher.
The submission of an interim voucher is not required but is intended to alleviate the
anticipated hardship on counsel of undertaking representation for an extended period
without compensation and to expedite the processing, review, and payment of CJA
vouchers. The Court reserves the right to delay or withhold payment on any interim
voucher.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that CJA Panel Attorneys may submit interim vouchers for payment of
fees and expenses without prior Court approval, as set out herein. This Order is effective
upon entry and shall remain in effect until modified or abrogated by the Court.
