**Opinions** $4.00 each copy


(1) For docketing a case on appeal or review, or docketing any other proceeding, $450.00 . A separate fee shall be paid by each party filing a notice of appeal in the district court, but parties filing a joint notice of appeal in the district court are required to pay only one fee. A docketing fee shall not be charged for the docketing of an application for the allowance of an interlocutory appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), unless the appeal is allowed. A docketing fee shall not be charged for the docketing of a direct bankruptcy appeal or a direct bankruptcy cross appeal when the fee has been collected by the bankruptcy court in accordance with Item 15 or Item 21 of the Bankruptcy Court Miscellaneous Fee Schedule.

[Clerk's Note: In addition to the $450.00 appellate docketing fee, there is an additional district court filing fee of $5.00 for filing a Notice of Appeal with the district court. Thus, the total amount payable to the district court for filing a Notice of Appeal with the district court is $455.00.]
