E.D. Mo. L.R. 8.03

(A) District Court Costs.

(1) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, a party seeking an award of costs

must file a verified bill of costs, in the form prescribed by the Clerk, no later than twenty-one

(21) days after entry of final judgment by the District Court pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 58.

(2) Failure to file a bill of costs within the time provided may constitute a

waiver of taxable costs.

(3) Each party objecting to a bill of costs must file, within fourteen (14) days

of being served, a memorandum stating specific objections. Within seven (7) days after being

served with the memorandum, the moving party may file a reply memorandum. The Clerk will

tax costs as claimed in the bill if no timely objection is filed.

(4) Costs will be paid directly to counsel of record and execution may be had

therefor.

(5) The filing of a bill of costs in no way affects the finality and appealability

of the final judgment previously entered.

(B) Costs on Appeal Taxable in the District Court. Costs allowable pursuant to

Fed.R.App.P. 39(e) will be taxed in accordance with section (A) of this rule, provided a bill of

costs is filed within twenty-one (21) days of the issuance of the mandate or other order

terminating the action by the Court of Appeals.
