United States Third Circuit

In a case in which a tire supplier lost on its Sherman Act claims against a competitor and a motorsports sanctioning body, the district court's award of electronic discovery costs to the defendants is vacated in part with instructions on remand to reduce the award, where: 1) none of the electronic discovery vendors' activities on behalf of the defendants could be regarded as fees for exemplification of materials under 28 USC section 1920(4); and 2) only scanning and file format conversion could be considered to be costs of making copies under section 1920(4).
