Long v. GSDMIdea City, L.L.C.

Plaintiff appealed the district court's award of costs to defendant after the district court dismissed plaintiff's underlying qui tam case against defendant with prejudice based on judicial estoppel. The court concluded that the district court abused its discretion in awarding excessive costs for expert witness fees and awarding costs for the following: (1) expedited transcripts; (2) shipping, tabbing, and binding costs; and (3) PACER fees. Altogether, these costs amount to $7768.89. Accordingly, the court modified the award of costs by subtracting this amount. View "Long v. GSDMIdea City, L.L.C." on Justia Law
