No. 1:10-ml-2181-RLM-DML
AMENDED OPINION AND ORDER
The court notes calculation errors as to the amounts awarded to Blue Flint
Ethanol, LLC; Heartland Corn Products, LLC; and United Wisconsin Grain
Producers, LLC. Additionally, Cleantech and Pacific Ethanol, Inc. agreed that the
parties understated a reduction and asked the court to amend the amount taxed
against Cleantech under Pacific Ethanol, Inc.’s bill of cost. Finally, Cleantech
asks the court to amend its order as to ICM’s exemplification and copying costs.
1
ICM’s exhibit attached to the bill of cost identified the copying costs with varying
levels of specificity, sometimes specifically listing it with entries such as “Xact
Data Discovery- printing discovery responses from Cleantech” and other times
with more vague entries such as “Outside Copy Charges- Xact Data Discovery”.
The court will tax Cleantech for the exemplification and copying charges which
ICM sufficiently identified for the court to determine the content or purpose.
Accordingly, the court amends Doc. No. 1925 as follows:
