[PROPOSED] ORDER 

Plaintiffs’ Motion to Review Taxation of Costs and Defendant’s Request for Correction of 

Calculation of Judgment were heard on Monday, March 31, 2008 in Courtroom 3 of the United 

States District Court for the Eastern District of California, Fresno Division, the Honorable Oliver 

W. Wanger presiding. Christopher Watters, Esq., appeared on behalf of Plaintiffs BRIAN N. 

HALL and JEAN M. HALL. Lowell T. Carruth, Esq., appeared on behalf of Defendant NORTH 

AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC. (“NAIS”). 

Having considered the papers in support of and in opposition to Plaintiffs’ Motion to 

Review Taxation of Costs and after hearing oral argument, the Court grants in part and denies in 

part the Motion to Review Taxation of Costs. On February 5, 2008, the Clerk taxed costs in favor 

of Plaintiffs in the amount of $37,794.91. The Court now taxes additional costs in the amount of 

$590.00, which reflects the total costs Plaintiffs claimed for the video deposition of Christopher 

M. Scaringe for a total of recoverable costs of $38,384.91. In all other respects, the Motion to 

Review Taxation of Costs is denied. 

Having considered the papers in support of Defendant NAIS’ Request for Correction of 

Calculation of Judgment and Plaintiffs’ Notice of Non-Opposition to that request, the Court 

grants in full Defendant’s Request for Correction of Calculation of Judgment. Plaintiff BRIAN 

N. HALL shall recover from NAIS: $190,867.00 for past wage loss (reduced by 5%); 

$1,887,847.00 for future wage loss (reduced by 5%); $1,085,961.00 for past medical bills 

(reduced by 5%); $2,123,800.00 for future medical bills (reduced by 5%); less $428,411.00 as an 

offset for worker’s compensation benefits, reflecting 34.5913 percent of the total amount of 

worker’s compensation benefits received; $6,000,000.00 for past non-economic damages 

(reduced to 75%); and $4,000,000.00 for future non-economic damages (reduced to 75%); for a 

total of $14,860,064.00. JEAN M. HALL’s recovery remains unchanged. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: April 8, 2008 /s/ OLIVER W. WANGER

 Judge of the U.S. District Court
