JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION HANAN SHIHEIBER
MIA S. BLACKLER PRO/PER

CROSS-DEFENDANT JPMORGAN CHASE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION’S MOTION TO 1) STRIKE CROSS-COMPLAINANT’S MEMORANDUM OF COSTS, OR 2) TAX COSTS TENTATIVE RULING:

JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association’s Motion to Strike Memorandum of Costs and/or to Tax Costs, dated 10-25-18, is GRANTED-IN-PART, as set forth below.

Shiheiber’s 10-5-18 Memorandum of Costs on Appeal has been WITHDRAWN and shall have NO EFFECT. The moving papers are directed to Hanan Shiheiber’s 10-5-18 Memorandum of Costs on Appeal, arguing it was filed prematurely and should be stricken. The Motion to Strike is DENIED AS MOOT, because on 11-26-18, Shiheiber withdrew the 10-5-18 Cost Memo (conceding it was premature) and filed another Memorandum of Costs on Appeal. Shiheiber’s 10-5-18 Memorandum of Costs on Appeal has been withdrawn and shall have no effect. To avoid the need for JPMorgan to file a motion to tax the 11-26-18 Cost Memo, the Court treats the present motion to tax as directed to Shibheiber’s 11-26-18 Memorandum of Costs on Appeal.

Shiheiber’s 11-26-18 Memorandum of Costs on Appeal is HEREBY TAXED in the amount of $100. JPMorgan only challenges $100 of the costs claimed in Shiheiber’s 11-26-18 Cost Memo, arguing the $2,305 claimed on Line 2 should be reduced to $2,205—the amount actually paid to the Court for preparation of the Clerk’s Transcript on Appeal. The Court finds JPMorgan’s argument has merit and that the $2,305 on Line 2 should be reduced by $100. Accordingly, Shiheiber’s 11-26-18 Memorandum of Costs on Appeal is hereby taxed in the amount of $100. After this reduction, Shiheiber may recover a total of $6,251.01 on the 11-26-18 Memorandum of Costs on Appeal ($6,351.01 – $100 = $6,251.01).

If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the Court, pursuant to Rule 3.1308(a)(1), adopted by Local Rule 3.10, effective immediately, and no formal order pursuant to Rule 3.1312 or any other notice is required as the tentative ruling affords sufficient notice to the parties.
