Judge Carson E. Saunders Jr.

Court-imposed fines and costs are due at sentencing unless the Court approves a deferred or installment payment agreement.

A defendant need not make a down payment to enter a payment plan that provides for deferred payments.

Before default, requests to amend or extend a payment agreement are subject to the Clerk of the Court's discretion.
