For all parties other than the United States government, the required fee is $298.00, due to the clerk of the bankruptcy court at the time of filing the notice of appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 1930(b).This fee includes a $293.00 docketing fee and a $5.00 filing fee. For the United States government, a $5.00 filing fee is due at the time of filing the notice of appeal.For trustees or debtors-in-possession, the $293.00 docketing fee may be deferred until there are assets in the estate. These fees must be paid to the bankruptcy court.See 10th Cir. BAP L.R. 8001-5.If an appeal is not accompanied by the proper filing and docketing fees, the Court will issue a notice of deficiency, and if the fees are not paid within the time specified, the Court will dismiss the appeal.

When an appellant seeks leave to appeal an interlocutory order, the appellant is initially required to pay only the $5.00 filing fee.The remaining $293.00 docketing fee is not due unless the Court grants leave to appeal.See 28 U.S.C. § 158; Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8003.

Parties may seek a waiver of fees by filing a fee waiver application with the clerk of the bankruptcy court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1930(f); 10th Cir. BAP L. R. 8001-6.
