STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS DONALD E. BANCROFT, UNPUBLISHED January 30, 1998 Plaintiff-Appellant, v TIMOTHY DICKS and HILLS OF TYRONE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, INC., No. 187752 Livingston Circuit Court LC No. 90-011104-CZ Defendants-Appellees, and DALE LEIGHTON, Defendant. Before: Gribbs, P.J., and Murphy and Gage, JJ. PER CURIAM. Plaintiff appeals as of right from the circuit court order granting costs and attorney fees to defendants. We affirm. We reject plaintiff’s argument that attorney fees could not be assessed as a component of costs under MCR 2.504(D). Attorney fees are a proper component of costs under that rule. Sirrey v Danou, 212 Mich App 159, 161; 537 NW2d 231 (1995). Moreover, defendants were not required to comply with MCR 2.625(G) because the trial court, and not the clerk of the court, taxed the costs and attorney fees. MCR 2.625(F)(2); J C Building Corp II v Parkhurst Homes, Inc, 217 Mich App 421, 428-429; 552 NW2d 466 (1996). Affirmed. /s/ Roman S. Gribbs /s/ William B. Murphy /s/ Hilda R. Gage -2
