(the “RPI”). Specifically, the Conservancy seeks an order taxing the costs sought by RPI in connection with ordering a transcript of the August 3, 2015 hearing on the Conservancy’s Petition for Writ of Man- date (item 9). This motion is made on the grounds that pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1033.5 and Cal. Rules of Court, Rule 3.1700, the Memorandum of Costs contains items that are unrecoverable. This motion is based upon this Notice of Motion, the accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities, the Declaration of Natalie N. FitzGerald, all pleadings and docu- ments on file herein, and such other and further evidence as may be presented at the hearing on this matter.

On August 3, 2015, the parties appeared before the Court for the hearing on the Con- servancy’s Petition for Writ of Mandate. A court reporter, secured by Real Party in Interest, CIVIC PROPERTY GROUP, INC. (“RPI”), was also present at the hearing for purposes of making a transcript of the proceeding. (Declaration of Natalie N. FitzGerald (“NNF Decl.”), 12) Following the August 3 hearing, the Court entered a judgment denying the Petition in its entirety. (NNF Decl., § 4.) Thereafter, RPI submitted a Memorandum of Costs in which RPI seeks to charge the Conservancy $250 for procuring a transcript of the proceed- ing. (NNF Decl., § 5.) In that this transcript was not ordered by the Court, RPI has no right to recovery of these costs by statute. TRANSCRIPTS NOT ORDERED BY THE COURT ARE BARRED FROM RECOVERY BY STATUTE. Under California law, the right to costs is governed strictly by statute. (Hogan v. Ingold (1952) 38 Cal.2d 814.) Thus, a trial court has no discretion to award costs not statutorily authorized. (Ladas v. California State Auto Ass'n (1993) 19 Cal.App.4th 761.) Nor does a trial court have any discretion to award costs which are expressly prohibited by statute, such as the costs claimed here by RPL The allowable costs are expressly set forth in Code of Civil Procedure section 1033.5, subdivision (a). With respect to transcripts, section 1033.5 provides as follows: (a) The following items are allowable as costs under Section 1032: (9) Transcripts of court proceedings ordered by the court. -3- Notice of Motion and Motion to Tax Civic Property Group, Inc.’s Costs 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Section 1033.5, subdivision (b), goes on to expressly identify those costs that are not allowable. These costs include the following: (b) The following items are not allowable as costs, except when expressly authorized by law: (5) Transcripts of court proceedings not ordered by the court. (Emphasis added.) By way of the Memorandum of Costs, RPI seeks $250 for securing a court reporter to prepare a transcript of the August 3, 2015 hearing on the Conservancy’s Petition for Writ of Mandate. (NNF Decl., § 5.) But pursuant to the express and unambiguous language of Code of Civil Procedure section 1033.5, subdivisions (a)(9) and (b)(5), the transcripts must have been ordered by the court to be recoverable. It is undisputed that the Court did not order either party to secure a transcript of this hearing; instead, this transcript was voluntarily ordered by RPI. (NNF Decl., 9 2, 3.) Accordingly, RPI is not entitled to these costs by statute. III. CONCLUSION Based on the foregoing, the Conservancy respectfully requests that the Court tax the costs sought by RPI in the amount of $250.

FITZGERALD I, NATALIE N. FITZGERALD, declare as follows: 1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the courts of the State of Califor- nia. I am an associate at the law firm of FitzGerald Yap Kreditor LLP counsel of record for petitioner THE OLD ORCHARD CONSERVANCY (the “Conservancy”) in the above- captioned action. I have personal knowledge of the facts contained within this Declaration based upon my first-hand experience, and if called upon to testify to them I could and would competently do so. 2. On August 3, 2015, 1, in addition to Deborah M. Rosenthal, appeared before this Court on the Conservancy’s Petition for Writ of Mandate. Appearances were also made by Jeffrey T. Melching, on behalf of Real Party in Interest CIVIC PROPERTY GROUP, INC. (“RPT”), and Michelle Ouellette, on behalf of CITY OF SANTA ANA (the “City”). Also present at the hearing was a court reporter, whom I understood to be retained by Mr. Melching’s office. 3. Prior to the August 3 hearing there were some communications between my- self and counsel for the City and RPI concerning securing a court reporter for the hearing, however, there was never any understanding that the Conservancy would pay for the tran- script costs. 4. On or about October 4, 2015, the Court entered a judgment denying the Con- servancy’s Petition in its entirety. 5.
