Opinion

No. 1:04-cv-1152-WSD.

October 30, 2006


OPINION AND ORDER


This matter is before the Court on Knapp Logistics and Automation, Inc.'s ("Knapp US") Supplement to Defendants' Bills of Costs [198]. Knapp US advises the Court that "branding" entails costs for "the process of electronically applying bates numbering and confidentiality designations to documents that were produced to Automed in Electronic format. . . ." (Supplement to Defendants' Bills of Costs at 2.) "Branding" bates numbers or confidentiality designations onto documents is not a cost reasonably necessary to the litigation. See e.g., Williams v. Taser Intern., Inc., slip. op., 2006 WL 1835437, *6 (N.D.Ga., June 30, 2006) ("Under no circumstances, however, shall Plaintiff be required to bear any other costs. . . . [including] labeling responsive documents . . .). Automed Technologies shall be taxed $33,757.85 ($43,912.61 previously assessed by the Court — $6,137.84 scanning cost — $4016.92 "branding" cost)

Based on the foregoing,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Automed Technologies shall be taxed $33,757.85 in costs.

SO ORDERED.
