(A) District Court Costs.
(1) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, a party seeking an award of costs
must file a verified bill of costs, in the form prescribed by the Clerk, no later than twenty-one
(21) days after entry of final judgment by the District Court pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 58.
(2) Failure to file a bill of costs within the time provided may constitute a
waiver of taxable costs.
(3) Each party objecting to a bill of costs must file, within fourteen (14) days
of being served, a memorandum stating specific objections. Within seven (7) days after being
served with the memorandum, the moving party may file a reply memorandum. The Clerk will
tax costs as claimed in the bill if no timely objection is filed.
(4) Costs will be paid directly to counsel of record and execution may be had
therefor.
(5) The filing of a bill of costs in no way affects the finality and appealability
of the final judgment previously entered.
(B) Costs on Appeal Taxable in the District Court. Costs allowable pursuant to
Fed.R.App.P. 39(e) will be taxed in accordance with section (A) of this rule, provided a bill of
costs is filed within twenty-one (21) days of the issuance of the mandate or other order
terminating the action by the Court of Appeals.
