Goldberg v. 401 N. Wabash Venture LLC, No. 09 C 6455, 2013 WL 4506071 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 23, 2013)

Key Insight: Noting that it was undisputed that e-discovery costs were available as taxable costs under Section 1920(4), but that there was scant legal authority in the circuit and district giving litigants guidance in seeking those costs, court deducted one-half of defendants’ request for costs related to electronically processing, hosting, and producing documents in discovery as well as electronically processing both sides’ trial exhibits, and awarded defendants $3,454 in e-discovery costs

Nature of Case: Commercial litigation

Electronic Data Involved: ESI and trial exhibits
