  1. eBay Inc. et al v. PartsRiver, Inc.

    RESPONSE

    Filed October 24, 2012

    See supra Part III.A, p. 4. But even if this Court followed the Tenth Circuit’s decision in English, that case is distinguishable because Defendants in this case have explained above how e-discovery costs meet the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1920(4), see supra Part III.B.2, pp. 5–7, and they did not simply attach a spreadsheet tallying various numbers, but instead provided declarations and/or actual invoices to support their Bills of Costs. Finally, to the extent the Court is concerned about the sufficiency of any particular Defendant’s evidentiary support for its Bill of Costs, the Court should not simply disallow all of that Defendant’s e-discovery costs, as requested by Kelora for many Defendants, but instead the Court should exercise its discretion to award what it determines is reasonable under the circumstances.

    RESPONSE in Opposition re MOTION for Bill of Costs

    Filed February 10, 2011

    Thus, the Tribe – and not SFWMD – is entitled to fees and costs here.3 CONCLUSION For the reasons argued above, the SFWMD is not entitled to costs against the Tribe, an Intervenor. Moreover, the SFWMD’s Verified Motion should be denied as untimely under the Local Rules, as to 28 U.S.C. § 1920, and as meritless under 33 U.S.C. § 1365(d) of the CWA. Instead, the Court should award costs and fees to the Tribe and plaintiffs.

  7. Hyun Park et al v. Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd.

    MEMORANDUM in Support of MOTION for Bond Appeal Bonds Pursuant to Rule 7 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and for an Order Allowing Discovery of Objectors 715

    Bank, Case No. 09-CV-02708 LHK, 2013 WL 1345716, at *8-9 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 2, 2013) (declining to award administrative delay costs in a Rule 7 appeal bond where plaintiff did not “concretely identify the basis for their $10,000 estimate, nor clearly distinguish the projected costs from those that could be claimed as attorney’s fees”); In re Toyota Motor Corp., 2013 WL 5775118, at *2 (C.D. Cal. Oct. 21, 2013) (declining to award administrative cost delays because class plaintiffs could not “identify any applicable fee-shifting statute” that would entitled them to costs on appeal). Because the costs here are recoverable under 28 U.S.C. § 1920(6), this case is also distinguishable from In re Magsafe, where in a non-precedential memorandum, the Ninth Circuit held that the district court erred in requiring an appeals bond “given that the only applicable fee-shifting Case 2:07-cv-05107-SJO-AGR Document 716 Filed 06/30/14 Page 19 of 26 Page ID #:9545 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 3228315v1/010438 15 Rule 7 does not provide explicit guidance regarding the factors to be considered in deciding whether the imposition of an appeal bond is appropriate. However, in applying Ninth Circuit authority, district courts in this Circuit have articulated three potentially relevant factors: (i) appellant’s financial ability to post a bond; (ii) the risk that appellant would not pay the costs if the appeal loses; and (iii) an assessment of the likelihood that appellant will lose the appeal and be subject to costs.
