D. Mont. L.R. 54.1

(a) Within 14 days after the entry of a judgment allowing costs, the

prevailing party may serve and file an application for the taxation of costs. The

application must be made on Form AO-133, Bill of Costs, available on the court’s

website and shall be limited to the costs permitted by 28 U.S.C. § 1920. Sufficient

documentation showing the amount of costs (including but not limited to, copies of

invoices, receipts, orders, vouchers billing statements, etc.) is required. Failure to

attach sufficient documentation to support a claimed cost is grounds for

disallowance of that particular item.

(b) The opposing party may object within 14 days after the application was

filed. Any objection must specify the item and/or amount objected to and give

reasons for the objection. A failure to file objections constitutes a waiver of any

right to have the clerk’s action reviewed by the court.

(c) Order Taxing Costs.

(1) If no objections are filed, the clerk shall approve the application for

taxation of costs by completing the taxation of costs portion of the

AO-133 form within 14 days of expiration of the time for filing

objections.

(2) If objections are filed, the court shall make a determination and issue

an order as to costs.

(d) Costs may be inserted in the judgment without application.
