UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

----oo0oo----

VINCENTE SOLOMON,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. NEGRETE, et al.,

Defendants.

CIV. NO. 2:10-2103 WBS AC

ORDER RE: COSTS

----oo0oo----

After judgment was entered in favor of defendant 

(Docket No. 151), defendant submitted a cost bill totaling 

$1,088.47 (Docket No. 152). Local Rule 292(c) provided plaintiff 

with seven days from the date of service to object, and plaintiff 

did not object. 

Rule 54(d)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 

and Local Rule 292 govern the taxation of costs to losing 

parties, which are generally subject to limits set under 28 

U.S.C. § 1920. See 28 U.S.C. § 1920 (enumerating taxable costs);

Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d)(1) (“Unless a federal statute, these rules, 

or a court order provides otherwise, costs--other than attorney’s 

fees--should be allowed to the prevailing party.”); E.D. Cal. 

Local R. 292(f); Crawford Fitting Co. v. J.T. Gibbons, Inc., 482 

U.S. 437, 441 (1987) (limiting taxable costs to those enumerated 

in § 1920).

Defendant has requested $1,088.47 in costs based on 

services that were actually and necessarily performed, including 

obtaining certified transcripts, making copies of materials, and 

docket fees. After reviewing the bill, and in light of the fact 

that plaintiff has not objected, the court finds the requested 

costs to be reasonable. Accordingly, costs of $1,088.47 will be 

allowed.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: October 22, 2014
