Opinion
CIVIL NO. 09-00403 SOM/BMK

MARK W.S. YOUNG, Plaintiff, v. JAMES FRANCIS VRECHEK, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATION TO GRANT
DEFENDANT'S BILL OF COSTS
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATION TO GRANT DEFENDANT'S BILL OF COSTS
Plaintiff Mark W.S. Young objects to the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation To Grant Defendant's Bill of Costs ("F&R"). The objection consists of a discussion as to why Young's lawsuit should not have been dismissed, not of a discussion as to why particular costs sought by Defendant should not be taxed. In other words, Young asserts that he should have prevailed in this case, without addressing why, having actually prevailed, Defendant should not be awarded costs. Young's objection fails to comply with Local Rule 74.2, which requires a party objecting to any finding or recommendation to "specifically identify the portions of the order, findings, or recommendations to which objection is made and the basis for such objections." Young's purported objection to the taxation of costs in the F&R is really an objection to the Order Granting James Vrechek's Motion To Dismiss for Failure To Join Required Party, which is already the subject of an appeal pending in the Ninth Circuit.
This court overrules Young's objection to the F&R and adopts the F&R.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, November 22, 2013.
