THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon the Defendant Dr. Craig Wright’s Motion for Bill of Costs, ECF No. , and Plaintiff W & K Info Defense Research’s Motion for Entry of Taxable Costs, ECF No. 1 (“Motions”). The Motions were previously referred to the Honorable Bruce E. Reinhart for a Report and Recommendations (“R&R”). See ECF No. .
On March 14, 2022, the Magistrate Judge issued a R&R recommending that the Motions be granted in part and denied in part. ECF No. . The R&R advised the parties to file any objections within fourteen days of the date of service of a copy of the R&R. Id. To date, the parties have not filed objections, nor have the parties sought additional time in which to do so.
Nevertheless, the Court has conducted a de novo review of the R&R and the record in this case and is otherwise fully advised. See Williams v. McNeil, 557 F. 3d 1287, 1291 (11th Cir. 2009) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)). Upon review, the Court finds the R&R to be well reasoned and
correct. The Court therefore agrees with the analysis in the R&R and concludes that the Motions must be GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART for the reasons set forth therein.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The R&R, ECF No. , is ADOPTED.
2. Defendant Dr. Craig Wright’s Motion for Bill of Costs, ECF No. , is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. Defendant Craig Wright is entitled to recovery of $1,170 in process server fees, $97,627.95 for transcripts, $4,167.54 in witness fees, and $180.57 in copying costs for a total of $103,146.06 in taxable costs 3. Plaintiff W&K Info Defense Research, LLC’s Motion for Entry of Taxable Costs, ECF No. , is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. Plaintiff W&K Info Defense Research, LLC is entitled to recovery of $585.00 in process server fees, $97,671.24 for transcripts, and $120.00 in witness fees for a total of $98,376.24 in taxable costs. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, on March 30, 2022.
