St. Tammany Parish Hospital Service, District No. 2 v. Schneider

LOTTINGER, Chief Judge.

This appeal arises out of an expropriation action filed by a political subdivision against a private landowner which political subdivision subsequently moved to dismiss. The dismissal was opposed by the landowner who thereafter filed a motion to tax costs alleging that he had not been reimbursed for attorney fees and other expenses incurred by him in connection with this litigation. Following a hearing, the district court partially granted the landowner’s motion and awarded him attorney fees in the amount of $6,572.50. The political subdivision now appeals.
