United States Eleventh Circuit

In a copyright infringement suit involving a painting claimed to be the original concept for EPCOT, orders 1) disposing of several evidentiary issues and granting summary judgment for defendant, 2) denying plaintiff's motion for clarification and reconsideration, and 3) adopting the magistrate judge's award of taxable costs to defendant, are affirmed as to summary judgment and reconsideration. However, where the district court awarded costs that it lacked discretion to award, such order is vacated.
