All vouchers must be accompanied by one copy of a completed CJA Information Summary Form. As noted in the CJA Information Summary Form, counsel may also submit a detailed explanation along with the form to substantiate the amount requested.
The Clerk shall review each appellate voucher, make computation corrections, make comments concerning the voucher and its compliance with pertinent statutory and administrative guidelines, and send the voucher to an Appellate Commissioner for certification of such compensation as an Appellate Commissioner deems reasonable and appropriate under the Criminal Justice Act.
The Clerk shall inform counsel of the procedures and criteria for requesting compensation. The Chief Judge may designate one or more judges, in addition to the administrative unit judges, to rule on excess CJA fee requests. (Rev. 9/17/14)
