served upon opposing counsel. The opposing counsel shall file written objections within 21 days
from the date of service. The bill of costs, and any objection, must be prepared and filed in
accordance with the Court’s Guidelines on Preparing Bills of Costs. The prevailing party may file
a reply to any objections within 14 days from the date of service. The Clerk shall then assess the
costs in accordance with the Court’s Guidelines on Preparing Bill of Costs.
