NOTICE TO THE BAR
At its September 2013 session, the Judicial Conference of the United States approved several changes to the miscellaneous fee schedules effective December 1, 2013. The appellate filing fee is increased to $505 which includes a $50 administrative fee. The records retrieval fee is increased from $53 to $64 for the first box requested from a Federal Records Center and a new fee of $39 for each additional box requested was created in an effort to recoup some of the rising shipping and processing costs for handling paper records. The entire fee schedule for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana can be found at http://www.laed.uscourts.gov/CASES/fee.htm
