Defendants’ Motion to Strike and/or Tax Costs
TENTATIVE RULING: The motion is GRANTED IN PART. Costs are taxed in the amount of $860.02. Moving party to give notice.
Expert witness fees. Defendant’s motion to tax expert witness fees is denied. Plaintiffs have submitted satisfactory evidence to show the expert witness fees requested were necessarily incurred.
Other fees. Defendants request the Court tax the following items (as sequentially listed in the memorandum of costs): (1) attorney services and messengers for court filings and service in the amount of $900.48; (2) overnight (delivery) in the amount of $98.75; (3) transcript in the amount of $289.42; (4) travel in the amount of $691.91; (5) postage in the amount of $1.30; (6) copies in the amount of $514.20; (7) scans in the amount of $5.80; and (8) Westlaw legal research in the amount of $49.30.
The motion to tax costs incurred for attorney services and messengers for court filings and service is denied. The court finds these costs were reasonably necessary to prosecute this action.
The motion to tax costs incurred for overnight delivery is denied for the same reason.
The motion to tax costs incurred for the transcript of the August 6, 2018 hearing is granted. The court did not order this transcript and it was not reasonably necessary to prosecute this action.
The motion to tax costs incurred for travel to court appearances is denied. The court finds these costs were reasonably necessary to prosecute this action.
The motion to tax costs incurred for postage, copies and scans is granted. Plaintiffs do not sufficiently itemize these costs. Therefore, the Court cannot find the costs incurred were reasonably necessary.
