The prevailing party on appeal may assess costs incurred during the appeal against the losing party. If the Court affirms and reverses in part, modifies, or vacates a judgment, costs are assessed only as the Court may order. If the United States is a party, costs will be assessed only if authorized by law. See
FRAP
39; LR
39.1.
Costs may be assessed for no more than the actual number of paper copies of the briefs and appendices filed with the Court under LRs 30.1 and 31.1.
Costs may also be assessed for serving a party under LR 25.1(h)(4) if the party seeking costs attaches proof that the paper copy was served.
See LR 39.1(a).
