Opinion filed November 24, 1999.
Appellants appeal the award of costs following an award of summary judgment in favor of appellees.
A review of the statutes indicates the legislature contemplated an award of costs to occur directly following a final order of the trial court. Appellants also argue the trial court erred in including the stenographic charges of depositions in the award of costs to appellees. Appellants claim the depositions were not used as evidence. Both of those cases involved the use of depositions at trial, but the depositions were not admitted into evidence. Those courts held the costs of those depositions could not be taxed as costs.
