UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SETH WALLACK and SAN DIEGO

VETERINARY IMAGING, INC.,

Plaintiffs,

CASE NO. 11cv2996-GPC(KSC)

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS

WRIGHT AND WALTERS’

MOTION TO RETAX COSTS AND

GRANTING DEFENDANTS’

LEAVE OF COURT TO REFILE

BILL OF COSTS WITH PROPER

DOCUMENTATION

[Dkt. No. 152.]

vs.

IDEXX LABORATORIES, INC.;

IDEXX REFERENCE

LABORATORIES, INC.; MATTHEW

WRIGHT; an individual; and

STEPHEN WALTERS, an individual

Defendants.

On April 1, 2016, Defendants Walters and Wright (“Defendants”) filed a Bill of

Costs with a hearing set on April 22, 2016. (Dkt. No. 147.) No opposition was filed. 

On April 21, 2016, the Clerk of Court summarily denied all costs because appropriate

documentation, the actual invoices, were not submitted pursuant to Civil Local Rule

54.1(a) which provides that the “bill of costs must itemize the costs claimed and must

be supported by a memorandum of costs, an affidavit of counsel that the costs claimed

are allowable by law, are correctly stated, and were necessarily incurred, and copies of

the invoices for requested costs.” Civ. Local R. 54.1. Because the Clerk of Court

denied their Bill of Costs, on April 26, 2016, Defendants filed a motion for taxation of

costs pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d) and Local Civil Rule 54.1.

Because Defendants are now correcting their Bill of Costs submission by attaching

invoices to supports its costs, the Court GRANTS Defendants leave to refile their Bill

of Costs with the Clerk’s Office in compliance with Local Civil Rule 54.1 within five

days of the filing of this Order. Thus, the Court DENIES Defendants’ motion to retax

costs. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: May 5, 2016
