RULE 501.
DEFERRAL OF FILING FEES DUE FROM TRUSTEE
Upon the filing with the clerk by any trustee in any adversary proceeding of a certificate that the estate lacks any funds with which to pay requisite filing fees, the payment of such filing fees shall be deferred by the clerk without order of the judge, and the clerk shall enter such deferral upon the docket. The trustee shall pay such deferred fees from the estate before the case is closed, should the estate then have assets available to pay such fees.
Committee Note: This is a new rule. It is intended to eliminate the necessity of motions and court appearance by a trustee who must bring an action but lacks liquid assets to pay the required filing fee.
