(a) Bill of Costs.
(1) No later than fourteen (14) days after entry of judgment, a party seeking
costs must file a verified bill of costs, using forms available from the Clerk. If
a timely motion pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 50(b) or 59 is filed, the bill of costs
must be filed within fourteen (14) days after entry of the order resolving the
motion.
(2) When an appeal is taken, the parties may jointly move to delay filing the
bill of costs until after the appeal is decided. Absent Court order, an appeal
will not extend the deadline for filing a bill of costs or delay the taxing of
costs.
(3) Any party opposing taxation of costs must file its objections within
fourteen (14) days of service of the bill of costs. The party claiming costs must
serve any response within seven (7) days of service of the objections. Costs
will be taxed by the Clerk on the basis of these materials.
(b) Review of Clerk’s Taxation of Costs. A party may move for review of
the Clerk’s decision taxing costs pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d) no later than
seven (7) days after taxation.
