IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

PINE BLUFF DIVISION 

LOUISE ROUNDS 

v. No. 5:12-cv-276-DPM 

PLAINTIFF 

SOUTHERN HERITAGE HEALTH AND 

REHABILITATION, LLC DEFENDANT 

ORDER 

Both new motions for costs are denied as too late in the circumstances. 

The Court deferred entering judgment for approximately a month so the 

parties could confer about fee-and-costs issues, and possibly resolve them. 

Their minds didn't meet. So the Court entered Judgment, NQ 103, received 

comprehensive briefs and materials on fees and costs, NQ 105, 106, 107, & 109, 

resolved the disputed issues, NQ 115, and entered an Amended Judgment. NQ 

116. While there doesn't appear to be a hard deadline to seek costs, the 

reasonable time to do so in this case was pron1ptly after the Court's January 

2015 Judgment. Reece v. Bank of New York Mellon, 760 F.3d 771, 779 n. 8 

(8th Cir. 2014). Neither Rounds's inadvertent omission of one deposition 

from her original request nor Southern Heritage's somewhat novel request 

for costs connected with the inany issues on which it won summary judgment 

Case 5:12-cv-00276-DPM Document 122 Filed 04/10/15 Page 1 of 2
in November 2014, provides a sufficient reason to keep litigating costs now. 

Motions, Ng 117 & 118, denied. 

So Ordered.
