The expense to the United States of bringing jurors to the courthouse for a trial may be assessed
to one or more of the parties or counsel if the jury trial is not begun as scheduled or the jurors are not
used for that trial for any reason attributable to the parties or counsel.
COMMENT: It is the policy of the Judicial Conference of the United States
that last minute settlements and continuances which result in
unnecessary juror fees and expenses be penalized by the assessment of
costs against the responsible attorney or party. See also LR 40.2.
