W.D. Ky. LR 83.13
Advance Payment of Fees
(a) Generally. The Clerk, the United States Marshal Service, or any other
officer of the Court entitled to collect fees for services rendered may require
fees to be paid in advance. This rule includes fees for filing cases, including
but not limited to actions filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241.
(b) Payment of Fees in Seamen’s Suit.
Seamen may institute and prosecute suits in their own names and for their
own benefit for wages or salvage or the enforcement of laws enacted for
their health or safety without prepaying fees or costs or furnishing security
therefor. In all such actions in which a seaman prevails, either by judgment
or by settlement, no dismissal or satisfaction of judgment shall be filed or
entered until all fees of the marshal and clerk have been paid. It shall be the
responsibility of counsel handling the payment of any settlement to see to it
that all fees are paid whether or not any dismissal or satisfaction of judgment
entry is applied for.
