C.D. Ill. Civil LR 83.13
Payment of Costs in Actions by Poor Persons
At the time application is made under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 for leave to commence any civil
action without being required to prepay fees and costs or give security for the same, the
applicant and his or her attorney must enter into an agreement to be filed with the Court
that any recovery secured in the action will be paid into the hands of the Clerk of this Court,
who will pay therefrom all unpaid costs taxed against the plaintiff and remit the balance to
the attorney of record for the plaintiff, or to the plaintiff if unrepresented. If the attorney
has filed notice with the Clerk that a contingent fee contract has been entered into by the
plaintiff, the balance will be paid to the plaintiff and the attorney in accordance with the
order of the presiding judge.
