- Update to Fee Schedule: Effective May 1, 2013, the court will begin charging a new $25 fee for each claim transferred. This fee was approved by the US Judicial Conference at its September 2012 session. The fee will be assessed upon the filing of the claim transfer, whether filed by a transferee or transferor. In the event multiple claims transfers are filed at one time by one entity (claims upload or batch filing), the $25 fee will be charged for each individual claim transferred. The fee should be paid by credit card upon the filing of the claims transfer in ECF using Pay.gov. Additionally, the reopening fee for chapter 9 & chapter 15 cases have increased to $1,167 from $1,000.

- Reminder to Attorneys: In our District, the case number includes the assigned judge's initials. With the appointment of the three new judges to the bench earlier this year, many cases were reassigned and as a consequence the case number may have changed. Before uploading an order for signature, please check the docket to ensure the judge initials on your order are correct. If you need to upload an order in a closed case which was assigned to one of the three judges who retired (Judges Baum, Case and Marlar) please first call the court's ECF Help Line at 602-682-4900 and indicate that the case may need to be reassigned.
