Submitting a Filing without a Fee or In Forma Pauperis (IFP)

Many case filings do not carry a fee and can be submitted to the court without a charge. In addition, any filer that has petitioned and been granted an In Forma Pauperis (in the manner of the pauper) status, is not subject to any fees that may be associated with a filing.

As a result, when a report is submitted to the court under one of these two circumstances, the Payment and Submission page displays a zero ($0.00) balance due on any report. Clicking OK on this page submits the report to the court and you proceed directly to the Receipt page.
