UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT HENRY KORSZUN, ET AL Plaintiffs v. PUBLIC TECHNOLOGIES MULTIMEDIA, INC., ET AL Defendants : : : : : : : :

CIVIL ACTION NO. 3-00-cv-327 (JCH) JANUARY 27, 2006

RULING RE: RESUBMITTED BILL OF COSTS [DKT. NO. 139] The defendants have resubmitted a Bill of Costs, after the court's Ruling denying in part its original submission. The defendants have still failed to document what its claimed copying costs were incurred for. With regard to the court reporter fees, the court denies the Bill of Costs. The court will allow the cost for depositions used in the Motion for Summary Judgment. An invoice is required to demonstrate the pay rate, number of pages, and any associated cost (for the court's review). The cross-appeal filing fee is a statutory fee, and the court allows it as appropriate. With regard to witness fees, only fees for witnesses whose deposition was used in connection with Motion for Summary Judgment would be allowed. The court disallows this aspect of the Bill of Costs because the defendant has yet to establish a taxable cost for any of these deponents. The witness travel costs and subsistence are disallowed because, as defendant points out, the deposition of Ms. Leszkowicz does not appear to have been used in connection with the Motion for Summary Judgment.
