An attorney who has been admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States, the highest court of a state, another United States Court of Appeals, or a United States District Court and who is of good moral and professional character is eligible for admission to the Bar of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Any attorney representing the United States or any officer or agency thereof in an appeal will be permitted to participate in that case without the necessity of being admitted to the Bar of the Sixth Circuit. However, any such attorney desiring admittance to the bar of the court will be required to pay the fee. Fee. Attorneys appointed by the court to represent clients in forma pauperis and who qualify under the standards of Fed. R. App. P. 46 and attorneys employed by a Federal Defender organization created pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3006A shall be admitted to practice in this court without payment of a fee. All other qualified counsel shall be admitted upon payment of a $200.00 fee. Payment may be made by cash, check or money order made payable to the "Clerk of the United States Court of Appeals."
