I had one filed yesterday in the Van Nuys Superior Court (judicial Council form and BK Court's Notice of Case Commencement) and it was accepted without a fee.

Here is a suggestion for you, submit with the fee waiver form. If your client is in bankruptcy, clearly he should be entitled to a fee waiver.

Client had a lawsuit pending in Superior Court. Ch 7 was filed and
Notice of Stay of Proceedings sent to Superior Court to notify them of
the BK filing.
The Clerk is requiring my client to pay $300+ filing fee for this
document to be filed and put on record!??
This has never come up with any other Superior Court or Clerk
before.... Any insight/recommended response?
Thanks.

Having run across this before, I have the plaintiff's counsel for the the Notice of Stay, avoiding my client, as the defendant, the cost of filing the first document - a first appearance fee. Similarly, if a debtor defendant files the Notice of Removal, the clerk will assess the first filing fee, even though the Notice of Removal is not an appearance, but rather a document giving the state court notice that it is being divested of jurisdiction. But, the clerk will not listen, especially where they are being furloughed without pay!

> I've often wondered how a notice of stay could be an appearance? When you appear you subject yourself, or your client to the court's jurisdiction. A notice of stay is a notice the court has no jurisdiction. The clerk is crazy. Maybe you should think outside the box. How do you get a writ of mandamous (sp) against the clerk?
>
> On the otherside, is the rule stating a lawyer has to file a notice of stay constitutional? If it costs money, the court is taking your money without just compensation. If the filing does not cost money, does the rule violate the 13th amendment? I understand when rules require you to do things you want to do in a certain way, but telling lawyers to do something they may not want to do at alll is involuntary servitude.

Thanks everyone.
As part of regular procedure, I had served the Plaintiff's Attorney and
listed them on Sch F and SOFA, and will leave it up to them to notify
the Superior Court of the BK filing and the Automatic Stay.
Have a great weekend.

It's actually the Van Nuys Court! I called them up and this one lady
there insists that since it is the first document filed by my client in
the Civil Case, he Must pay the fee. Otherwise, she will not notify the
Judge about the BK and the NAS!
She said she has this conversation with many other BK attorneys
(apparently) and just because other clerks "make mistakes" of not
charging a filing fee, doesnt mean she will do the same....
I've resubmitted already a couple of times, but to no avail... not sure
what to do.

Client had a lawsuit pending in Superior Court. Ch 7 was filed and Notice of Stay of Proceedings sent to Superior Court to notify them of the BK filing.

This has never come up with any other Superior Court or Clerk before.... Any insight/recommended response?
