L.R. 5010 – Fees for Motions to Reopen. In any case in which a motion to reopen is filed, the filing fees prescribed by 28 U.S.C. § 1930(b) must be paid at the time the motion is filed, unless (1) the motion to reopen states that the purpose of reopening is to correct an administrative error or to file an action related to the debtor's discharge (such as a complaint to determine dischargeability or a motion for contempt for violation of the discharge injunction); or (2) a complaint to determine dischargeability and/or a motion for contempt for violation of the debtor's discharge injunction (which are considered actions related to the debtor's discharge) is filed simultaneously with the motion to reopen.
