Heading: Issue Two: Did the District Court err in awarding costs to ARS and Wilbur Curtis?

Text: ¶ 24 Weaver objects to costs being awarded to ARS and Wilbur Curtis in their respective judgments. However, the case he relies upon, Thompkins v. Fuller, 205 Mont. 168, 667 P.2d 944 (1983), deals with attorney fees. Costs do not include attorney fees. See § 25-10-201, MCA; Small v. Good, 284 Mont. 159, 164, 943 P.2d 1258, 1261 (1997) (citing Higgins v. Montana Hotel Corp., 181 Mont. 149, 156, 592 P.2d 930, 934 (1979)). No attorney fees were awarded to either ARS or Wilbur Curtis. ¶ 25 Weaver has not met his burden to establish error. Small, 284 Mont. at 163, 943 P.2d at 1260 (appellant carries the burden of establishing error by the district court.). Weaver has put forth no argument or authority regarding the award of costs. Therefore, we affirm the award of costs to ARS and Wilbur Curtis.
