RULE 7054-1 TAXATION OF COSTS A. Time for Filing Bill of Costs Within thirty days of the entry of a judgment allowing costs, the prevailing party may file a bill of costs and serve a copy on each adverse party. If the bill is not filed in that time, costs under 28 U.S.C. § 1920, other than those of the clerk, are waived. On motion filed before the time has expired, the court may extend the time for filing the bill.

B. Transcript Costs Subject to Rule 7054 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the necessary expenses that a prevailing party incurs to obtain all or part of a transcript or deposition for use in a case, for a new trial, for amended findings, or for appeal are taxable as costs against the adverse party. The costs are limited to the regular copy rate established by the Judicial Conference of the United States in effect when the transcript or deposition is filed, unless the court previously ordered otherwise. Only the cost of the original and one copy of the transcript or deposition, and for depositions the cost of the copy provided to the court, will be allowed, unless the court orders otherwise.
