My expert required that I pay him/her up front before rendering the service and now I need to submit the claim. Do I include this on my CJA20 under other expenses?

Answer: 

No.  You must claim the amount on a CJA21, listing yourself as the payee, but supporting the claim with a copy of the expert’s bill to you and proof that you paid the claim directly.  This is not the preferred method of payment to an expert provider but it may be allowed under limited circumstances.
