AO 21-004

In re: EXEMPTION FROM FEES FOR ELECTRONIC PUBLIC ACCESS / Administrative Order No. 21-004 ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER EXEMPTING DULY APPOINTED BANKRUPTCY TRUSTEES IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA AND RELATED FILING AGENTS ACTING IN CASES FILED UNDER TITLE 11 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE FROM PAYMENT OF THE PRESCRIBED FEE FOR ELECTRONIC PUBLIC ACCESS TO COURT ELECTRONIC RECORDS

According to the Electronic Public Access Fee Schedule issued in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §§ 1913, 1914, 1926, 1930, and 1932 (effective January 1, 2020), a Bankruptcy Court may exempt persons or classes of persons from payment of these fees to avoid unreasonable burdens and to permit access to court data. This Court is satisfied that it is appropriate to exempt duly appointed and qualified bankruptcy trustees acting in cases filed under Title 11 of the United States Code. Further, due to the implementation of the Next Generation of CM/ECF 2 (“NextGen”) electronic case management system in this District on December 6, 2021, the Court finds that it is also appropriate to exempt registered Filing Agent accounts linked to duly appointed trustee accounts from electronic access fees. Accordingly, it is ORDERED: (1)The Clerk and PACER Service Center are authorized to waive the fee for electronic public access for all duly appointed and qualified bankruptcy trustees acting in cases under Title 11. (2)The Clerk and PACER Service Center are authorized to waive the fee for electronic public access for all Filing Agent accounts linked to duly appointed and qualified bankruptcy trustees acting in cases under Title 11. (3)Bankruptcy trustees must notify the Clerk immediately upon a Filing Agent’s separation from their office. The Clerk will instruct the PACER Service Center to remove the Filing Agent’s exemption.

DONE AND ORDERED ON December 2, 2021. KAREN K. SPECIE Chief Bankruptcy Judge
