Opinion 375

Case Name: 

In re Pokorny

Judge: 
Judge Clark
Date: 
Oct-23-1994
Case Number(s): 
94C-25246
Status: 

UNPUBLISHED

Body: 

The debtor filed an application for waiver of the chapter 7 filing fee, in which she indicated that she made a $350 payment to an attorney for services in connection with her case. Bankruptcy Rule 1006(b) (Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1006(b)) provides that a debtor may not pay their filing fee in installments if they paid an attorney for services in connection with the case. The court interpreted Rule 1006(b) to strictly prohibit debtors from paying any fees to an attorney until the filing fee is paid in full, and denied debtor's application to waive the filing fee.
