Defendants.

Defendants, the prevailing parties in this case, have moved for costs pursuant to Rule 54
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Local Civil Rule 54.03. ECF No. 307. Plaintiff has
opposed the motion and Defendants have replied. ECF Nos. 313–14.
On August 21, 2013, this court issued an order directing Defendants to provide additional
information before the court would rule on the motion. ECF No. 315. Specifically, the court
requested that Defendants resubmit the cost application, including only the depositions actually
used at trial. Id. For witnesses whose entire deposition testimony was read, the court advised
Defendants that the inclusion of the full cost of the deposition is appropriate. Id. For depositions
from which only certain lines or certain paragraphs were used for impeachment, the court
directed Defendants to pro rate the costs by comparing the pages for the lines actually used to the
total of the entire deposition. Id.
Additionally, the court directed Defendants to delete entries on extra charges incurred for
expedited transcripts, as well as for the use of a remote site for videotaping. Id.

This court now directs Defendants to provide this information within 21 days of the date
of this order. When the court receives the submission, it will issue its order fixing the costs to be
taxed against Plaintiff.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
