Ninth Circuit: 'Taxable Costs' Excludes Pro Hac Vice Fees, Deposition Editing Fees | Practical Law
In Kalitta Air L.L.C. v. Central Texas Airborne System Inc., the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that fees which defendant's counsel paid to be admitted pro hac vice, and costs associated with deposition editing and synchronizing, are not "taxable costs" within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1920, and therefore cannot be awarded as costs.
