Additionally, Cleantech and Pacific Ethanol, Inc. agreed that the parties understated a reduction and asked the court to amend the amount taxed against Cleantech under Pacific Ethanol, Inc.’s bill of cost. Finally, Cleantech asks the court to amend its order as to ICM’s exemplification and copying costs. 1 Dockets.Justia.com ICM’s exhibit attached to the bill of cost identified the copying costs with varying levels of specificity, sometimes specifically listing it with entries such as “Xact Data Discovery- printing discovery responses from Cleantech” and other times with more vague entries such as “Outside Copy Charges- Xact Data Discovery”. The court will tax Cleantech for the exemplification and copying charges which ICM sufficiently identified for the court to determine the content or purpose. Accordingly, the court amends Doc. No. 1925 as follows: Blue Flint Ethanol, LLC Objection Service of summons or subpoena No costs for depo transcripts/ reduced to $3.65 per page for original and $0.90 per page for certified Video depos Printing Heartland Corn Products, LLC Objection Service of summons or subpoena No costs for depo transcripts/ reduced to $3.65 per page for original and $0.90 per page for certified Video depos Printing Response Contested Contested Ruling Reduce by $590 Reduce by $29,539.57 Contested Agreed Total reduction Total Award Reduce by $9,145 Award in full $39,274.57 $12,884.72 Response Contested Contested Ruling Reduce by $60.75 Reduce by $3,217.08 Contested Reduce by $2,573.77 Partially Agreed, Reduce by $1,063.68 partially Contested Total reduction $ 6,915.28 Total Award $ 8,814.77 2 United Wisconsin Grain Producers, LLC Objection Response Service of summons or subpoena Contest No costs for depo transcripts/ Contest reduced to $3.65 per page for original and $0.90 per page for certified Video depos Contest Printing Pacific Ethanol, Inc.
