Deposit and Withdrawal of Funds in Court

In any case in which the deposit of funds is governed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 67, the depositor must, before presenting to the Clerk of Court funds for deposit, obtain from the Court an order directing the Clerk of Court to invest the funds in an interest-bearing account or instrument. The Clerk of Court shall deposit all such funds into the Court Registry Investment System (CRIS) as administered by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AOUSC) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2045. All court orders for the deposit of registry funds shall contain the following provision: IT IS ORDERED that counsel presenting this order serve a copy thereof on the Clerk of Court or the Chief Deputy Clerk personally. Absent this service the Clerk of Court is hereby relieved of any personal liability relative to compliance with this order.
