ORDER REGARDING MOTION FOR EXPERT FEES
CRAIG B. SHAFFER, United States Magistrate Judge.
At a time when increased attention is being directed to the role and impact of discovery on the civil justice system,1 this court has been asked to consider the cost-shifting provision for expert discovery under Rule 26(b)(4)(C) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. As one court noted in 1994, the “rising cost of expert witnesses in federal civil litigation is just one strand of a complex problem.” Hose v. Chicago and North Western Transportation Co., 154 F.R.D. 222, 228 (S.D.Iowa 1994).
