(A) Advance Payment Generally Required. Advance payment of fees is required
before the clerk will file any civil action, suit, or proceeding. A notice of appeal shall
be filed upon receipt. Persons wishing to proceed in forma pauperis may obtain the
necessary papers at the public filing counter.
(B) Failure to Remit Fee. Pleadings received by the clerk for filing with the filing
fee not attached shall be marked "received", but they shall not be filed. The clerk will
notify counsel and/or the parties that the pleadings are being held and that they will not
be filed until the filing fee is received or an order is issued allowing the pleadings to be
filed in forma pauperis.
