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 applying for a status of In Forma Pauperis, or who has already been granted this status by the court, is not subject to any fees that may be associated with a filing. As a result, when a submission is prepared where no payment is required, it is necessary to complete the following in the Payment and Submission page:

• Select the checkbox signifying that the filing complies with the provisions of the Public Access Policy.

• Click on the Actions dropdown and select Submit to Court.

• Verify the list of filings ready for submission - Confirm that all the filings that you want to submit appear in this screen.

Once these steps have been completed, click the Submit button. This action submits your filing(s) to the court and performs eService to the PACFile-registered attorneys and pro se litigants on the case(s).

Filings cannot be edited after they are submitted.
