North Las Vegas Infrastructure Investment & Construction, LLC v. City of North Las Vegas Annotate this Case Justia Opinion Summary The Supreme Court took the opportunity of this case to clarify that the district court's discretion to determine which costs were necessarily incurred by a prevailing party in awarding expenses the party incurred in its efforts to comply with a district court discovery order and held that the district court abused its discretion in part in awarding costs. In the underlying case, the district court entered judgment in favor of the prevailing party on its underlying breach of contract claims and then issued a post-judgment order denying the prevailing party's motion for attorney fees and relaxing costs. The Supreme Court consolidated the appeals and held that the district court (1) did not err in entering judgment in favor of the prevailing party on the breach of contract claims; (2) did not abuse its discretion in denying the prevailing party's motion for attorney fees; but (3) abused its discretion in denying the prevailing party's requests for costs incurred for trial technology services.
