Costs

A prevailing party who seeks to recover costs against an unsuccessful party pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1920 shall file a bill of costs on the form provided by the clerk and support the same with a brief. The bill of costs and brief shall be filed not more than 14 days after entry of judgment. Any request shall be a separate document from a motion for legal fees. The verified bill of costs shall have endorsed thereon proof of service upon the opposing party.

The prevailing party shall provide either receipts, documents, or an affidavit in support of the requested itemized costs. Objections to the bill of costs, with supporting brief, must be filed 24 within 14 days from the date the bill of costs was filed. After consideration of the bill of costs and any objections, the clerk will make a disposition and ruling on the bill of costs allowing or disallowing the items in whole or in part. If a bill of costs is properly and timely filed and no written objection thereto is filed within the time herein specified, the claimed costs may be allowed in full.
