IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

HARRISON DIVISION

ROBERT D. JOHNSTON and

MELANIE K. JOHNSTON PLAINTIFFS

V. 06-CV-03002

JASON BRISCO, et. al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Now on this 1st day of March, 2007, there comes before the

Court Plaintiffs’ Bill of Costs (Doc. 176). On January 12,

2007, the Court advised it would consider a motion for costs

associated with Plaintiffs’ attendance for the scheduled

depositions of Separate Defendants Jason Brisco, Lyle Smith and

Paul Woodruff for which Separate Defendants failed to appear

(Doc. 165). 

The Court previously stated that it “is unclear whether

Plaintiffs received sufficient notice of Separate Defendants’

intentions so as to avoid appearing for the depositions....”

(Doc. 142). The Court finds that Separate Defendants did not

provide Plaintiffs with sufficient notice that Separate

Defendants would not be available for the depositions on

December 4, 2006. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs’

Bill of Costs be GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.

It is further ORDERED that Plaintiffs should have and

recover of and from Separate Defendants costs in the amount of

$236.60. This amount includes the travel expenses, court

reporter fees and any childcare expenses.
