______________________________________

ORDER
On March 22, 2011, Magistrate Judge Kelly entered a Report and Recommendation (Doc.
80), recommending that the Plaintiff’s Motion in Objection to Defendant’s Bill of Costs (Doc. 77)
be GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Plaintiff filed timely objections to the Report (Doc.
81). Upon de novo review of the above, the Court concurs with the recommendation of the
Magistrate Judge. In particular, the Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s conclusion that the
cost of transcribing Plaintiff’s testimony in two other cases was properly taxable under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1920(2), in that the transcripts were necessarily obtained for use in this case, even if the
testimony was originally intended for use in another case.
ORDERED that:
1.
Confirmed;

The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is Adopted and

2.

The Motion Filed in Objection to Bill of Costs (Doc. 77) is GRANTED IN PART

AND DENIED IN PART as set forth in the Report and Recommendation, and;
3.

The Clerk is directed to enter a cost judgment against the Plaintiff in the amount of

$3,935.89.
DONE and ORDERED in Chambers, Orlando, Florida on April 12, 2011.
