Morrison v. Reichhold Chemicals, Inc.

Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

Decided October 10, 1996No. 94-9175PublishedCited by 69 opinions

1Per curiam

Among various challenged trial errors and costs rulings by the district court, this appeal presents the first-impression issue for our circuit of whether video depositions are taxable as costs under 28 U.S.C. § 1920(2) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(2) and (3) without such a stipulation by the parties. We affirm all rulings by the district court with the exception of the taxation of costs for expert witness fees, which we reverse, and video depositions, which we reverse in part and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
