IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
In Re: Criminal Justice Act Program
STANDING ORDER
Counsel providing representation under the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) may submit interim
CJA vouchers for payment of fees and expenses, in any case, without the necessity of filing a
Motion for an Order Allowing Interim Payments. 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 of time
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.
The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to all members of the CJA
Panel.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
