UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT Directions: Counsel for a prevailing party seeking costs must file this (or like) form within fourteen days after entry of judgment, even if a petition for rehearing or other post-judgment motion is filed. A late bill of costs must be accompanied by a motion for leave to extend filing time. The docketing fee (if the appellant prevails) and the cost of reproducing formal briefs and appendices are the only costs taxable in the court of appeals. Other costs must be settled at the district court level, including the cost of the transcript, the fee for filing the notice of appeal, and the premiums for any required appeal bond. Any objections to costs must be filed within ten business days (plus three days for electronic service) of the bill of costs. Costs are paid directly to the prevailing party or counsel, not to the clerk's office.
