UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GARY PALMER, No. 2:05-cv-1935-MCE-GGH

Plaintiff,

v. ORDER

CHELSEA FINANCING 

PARTNERSHIP, LP, CLAIRE’S 

BOUTIQUES, INC. dba CLAIRE’S 

BOUTIQUES, et al.

Defendants.

----oo0oo----

Defendant Claire’s Stores, Inc. (erroneously sued herein as

CLAIRE’S BOUTIQUES, INC. dba CLAIRE’S BOUTIQUES) (“Claire’s”) has

filed a Bill of Costs in the amount of $258.93, following the

Court’s January 20, 2006 Order granting its Motion to Dismiss. 

Because Plaintiff’s complaint in this matter alleges

accessibility issues under Title III of the Americans with

Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq., cost are awardable

to a prevailing defendant only if the plaintiff’s action was

frivolous, unreasonable or without foundation. Brown v. Lucky

Stores, Inc., 246 F.3d 1182, 1190 (9th Cir. 2001).

Claire’s request for costs is accordingly DENIED, without

prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 27, 2007
