DAVIS WRIGHT TREMAINE LLP,

Defendant.

United States District Court
For the Northern District of California

After the Court granted summary judgment, Defendant filed, pursuant to Federal Rule
12
of Civil Procedure 54(d), a Bill of Costs (dkt. 26) seeking a total of $39,934.37. Now before
13
the Court are Plaintiff’s objections (dkt. 29) to the Bill of Costs. Under Rule 54(d), there is a
14
presumption that the prevailing party will be awarded its taxable costs. See Save Our Valley
15
v. Sound Transit, 335 F.3d 932, 944 (9th Cir. 2003). To overcome this presumption, a losing
16
party must establish a reason to deny costs. See Stanley v. Univ. of S. Cal., 178 F.3d 1069,
17
1079 (9th Cir. 1999). Here, Plaintiff has specifically identified “extras” which are for
18
convenience of the lawyers and not properly billable to Plaintiff in the amount of $2,822.00.
19
Plaintiff’s other objections are OVERRULED. Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED to pay a
20
total of $37,112.74 in taxable costs.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
