OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS' BILL OF COST
Plaintiff filed this lawsuit against Defendants alleging violations of Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and Whistleblowers' Protection Act, as well as a claim alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress. Defendants subsequently filed a motion for summary judgment, which this Court granted on December 22, 2005. Judgment was entered on the same date, dismissing Plaintiff's complaint with prejudice.
On January 4, 2006, Defendants submitted a request for costs in the amount of $661.50, comprised of $20 in fees of the Court and $641.50 in court reporter fees. The Clerk of the Court taxed Plaintiff those costs on January 13, 2006. Plaintiff filed objections on January 18, 2006.
In her objections, Plaintiff only states that she "objects to the Taxed Bill of Cost in accordance with the Federal Court Rules." Plaintiff fails to state why she objects. Plaintiff does not claim that Defendants have requested the taxation of inappropriate costs; nor does she identify any specific cost to which she objects. Defendants in fact request costs appropriately taxed against Plaintiff and the amount of their request is reasonable. See 28 U.S.C. § 1920.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED, that Plaintiff is taxed the costs set forth in the Clerk of the Court's Taxed Bill of Cost.
