LBR 8021.1 TAXATION AND PAYMENT OF COSTS AFTER APPEAL

(a) Procedure for Taxation. Any party allowed costs under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8021 must file, within 14 days after entry of judgment on appeal, a bill of costs with the bankruptcy clerk that includes proof of service and an itemized and verified bill of costs. Objections must be filed within 14 days after service of the bill of costs, unless the bankruptcy court extends the time.

(b) Reasonable Efforts to Confer Required. The bill of costs must state that the party seeking costs has made a reasonable effort, in a conference with opposing counsel and/or any self-represented party, to resolve any disputes regarding costs.

(c) Waiver. Failure of a prevailing party to timely file a bill of costs constitutes a waiver of any claim for costs.

(d) To Whom Payable. All costs taxed are payable directly to the party allowed costs, not to the clerk, unless the court orders otherwise. * * * Adopted 3/17/15.
