(a) Form of Deposit
All monies paid into the Court must be by cashier's check or certified check made payable to Clerk, U.S. District Court.
(b) Registry Fund
Upon receipt, the Clerk will deposit the monies into the Court's registry fund which is held by the Treasurer of the United States.
(c) Interest-bearing Account
(1) Interest-bearing account deposits other than interpleader funds. Upon order of the Court, the Clerk will deposit monies into an interest-bearing account to be held pending disbursement. As set forth in paragraph (d), below, a fee will be assessed on funds deposited into such an account.
(2) Interpleader funds deposited under 28 U.S.C. § 1335. Such funds meet the IRS definition of a Disputed Ownership Fund (DOF), a taxable entity that requires tax administration. Upon order of the Court, the Clerk will deposit interpleader funds into an interest-bearing account. Interpleader funds are subject to a DOF fee, assessed according to the Court's Miscellaneous Fee Schedule, and withholding of federal taxes due.
