(a) Except as otherwise directed by the Court, the Clerk shall not be required to enter any suit, file any
paper, issue any process or render any other service for which a fee is prescribed by statute or by the Judicial
Conference of the United States, nor shall the Marshal be required to serve the same or perform any service,
unless the fee therefor is paid in advance. The Clerk shall receive any such papers in accordance with L.Civ.R.
5.1(f).
(b) In all actions in which the fees of the Clerk and Marshal are not required by law to be paid in
advance, and in which a poor suitor or a seaman prevails either by judgment or settlement, no dismissal or
satisfaction of judgment shall be filed or entered until all of the fees of the Clerk and Marshal are paid.
