WHEREAS, to bring about more efficient and timely review and payment procedures for Criminal Justice Act (CJA) vouchers submitted in death penalty cases,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that compensation and reimbursable expenses claimed by attorneys appointed under the Criminal Justice Act in habeas petitions involving the death penalty shall be requested on interim CJA vouchers on a monthly basis.

Monthly CJA interim vouchers shall be submitted by the tenth business day of the following month and shall include all compensation and expenses claimed for the proceeding month regardless of the amount requested.

Failure to timely submit monthly CJA interim vouchers may be considered a basis for denying the requested claims.
