E.D. Tenn. L.R. 4.5
When Fee Not Included
When a pleading is received for filing and is unaccompanied by either the required filing
fee or an application to proceed in forma pauperis, the Clerk shall file the pleading in a
miscellaneous case and enter a deficiency notice. The deficiency notice shall inform counsel or
the party who submitted the pleading that the Court is in receipt of the pleading but that to proceed,
counsel or the party must pay the required filing fee or submit an application to proceed in forma
pauperis. The matter will be administratively closed if the deficiency is not cured within twenty
days from the filing of the deficiency notice.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
