Text: 5 The underlying civil rights action was brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The district court had original jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331. The jurisdiction of the district court over Moore's motion for costs and an incentive award is unimpaired by the fact that the Hadix consent decree is no longer in effect, having been terminated on June 29, 2001. Courts have jurisdiction to hear claims about costs after final judgment. See Buchanan v. Stanships, Inc., 485 U.S. 265, 268, 108 S.Ct. 1130, 99 L.Ed.2d 289 (1988) (noting that a motion for costs under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d) is a post-judgment motion not appropriate until after judgment); Clarke v. Mindis Metals, Inc., No. 95-5517, 1996 WL 616677, at  (6th Cir. Oct.24, 1996) (noting that Fed R. Civ. P. 54(d)(1) provides no time limit regarding motions for costs). This court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
