N.D.N.Y. L.R. 67.4

The Clerk of the Court or his designee is authorized to refund duplicate filing, admission,

or biennial fees. In addition, the Clerk of the Court or his designee is authorized to refund

overpayments made in criminal cases, such as duplicate or overpayments for Special

Assessments, Fines, and Restitution, after confirming that the account has been paid in full, or

the defendant’s portion of Court-ordered restitution has been paid in full.

The Clerk of the Court or his designee is authorized to make a refund if an erroneous

payment is discovered by the Court or the Clerk’s Office, or if a party or its counsel files a

written request for a refund. Instructions for filing a request for a refund are available on the

Court’s website at www.nynd.uscourts.gov.

A party or its counsel may request a refund by notifying the Clerk of the Court of its

request by completing the Request for Refund of Fees Paid electronic form found on the Court’s

website. If the Clerk of the Court verifies the error, he will process the refund by government

check if the party or its counsel made the original payment in cash, by debit card, or by check. If

the party or its counsel made the original payment by credit card, the Clerk of the Court shall

initiate a refund request through Pay.gov in the form of a credit to the credit card from which the

original payment was made.
