(b) Checks. All checks must be made payable to "Clerk, U.S. District Court." The clerk is authorized to refuse any check not so made payable.
(c) Certified Checks. The clerk may, in his or her discretion, require any payment to be made by certified check or its equivalent. The clerk shall require payment of bail to be made by certified check or its equivalent, unless otherwise ordered by the court.
(d) Electronic Payment of Fees. When electronically filing any pleading or paper through CM/ECF that requires a fee, all registered ECF users are to pay the fee electronically through the Treasury Department's Internet payment process (pay.gov). Pro se filers and those who have been exempted from electronic filing and/or electronic payment of fees may submit payments by check or money order made payable to "Clerk, U.S. District Court".
