When Fee Not Included
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee
When a pleading is received for filing and is unaccompanied by either the required filing fee or an application to proceed in forma pauperis, the Clerk shall file the pleading in a miscellaneous case and enter a deficiency notice. The deficiency notice shall inform counsel or the party who submitted the pleading that the Court is in receipt of the pleading but that to proceed, counsel or the party must pay the required filing fee or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis. The matter will be administratively closed if the deficiency is not cured within twenty days from the filing of the deficiency notice. 10
