United States Eighth Circuit
Reeder-Simco GMC, Inc. v. Volvo GM Heavy Truck Corp., 06-2930
In proceedings arising from a suit against Volvo alleging unfair price discrimination under the Robinson-Patman Act (RPA) and a failure to deal in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner under state law, denial of Volvo's motion to award as costs certain supersedeas bond premium payments it incurred in appealing a jury verdict for plaintiff is affirmed where the district court correctly held it was without authority to award costs in Volvo's favor as it never brought a motion for costs before the Eighth Circuit, and thus, no such order was ever entered to trigger a right to recover any Rule 39(e) costs in the district court.
