Local Rule L.R. 54-2.1: Filing and Form of Application to the Clerk to Tax Costs

L.R. 54-2.1 Filing and Form of Application to the Clerk to Tax Costs. Within 14 days after the entry of judgment or order under which costs may be claimed, a prevailing party claiming taxable costs must file and serve, in accordance with L.Rs. 5-3 and 5-4.1, a completed Form CV-59 "Application to the Clerk to Tax Costs," including a detailed bill of costs. The bill must state separately and specifically each item of taxable costs claimed. Sufficient documentation to support the amount and taxability of each item, such as an invoice, receipt, or other record of the expenditure, must be attached to the Form CV-59 when filed. If a court order or stipulation is required by these rules to support a particular item of costs, the order or stipulation must also be attached to the Form CV-59. Failure to include an item in a timely filed Application to the Clerk to Tax Costs or to attach sufficient documentation to support an item will constitute grounds for not taxing that item. Failure to file an Application to the Clerk to Tax Costs within the time provided by this rule will be grounds for denial.
