No funds may be paid out of the court’s registry except by order of the court. If a judgment has
been issued or is to be issued, no funds may be disbursed until thirty (30) days after the entry of
judgment, except as provided in Fed. R. Civ. P. 62 or by agreement of the parties. The authorized
custodian shall disburse all registry principal and income, if applicable, less the registry fee
assessment and/or taxes, pursuant to the court’s order. Any such order shall distinctly set forth
the funds in question and name the payee. Should the named payee be other than the depositor of
the funds, that fact shall be reflected in the order. If the funds have been deposited in an interest-
bearing account or an interest-bearing instrument, the party shall provide, on a separate filing
attached to the motion seeking withdrawal of the funds, the social security number or employer
identification number of the ultimate recipient of the funds. The clerk shall forward this separate
filing directly to the institution holding the money. Registry fund disbursements greater than
$500,000 must be made by electronic funds transfer.
