Dimitrouleas, William P., United States District Judge ORDER ADOPTING REPORT OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE *1 THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon Defendant's Bill of Costs [DE-351] and the Report and Recommendation [DE-363] dated August 25, 2011. The Court has conducted a de novo review of the Report and Recommendation, Plaintiff's Objections [DE-365], Defendant's Response [DE-366], the record herein, and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. Plaintiff objects to the Magistrate Judge's award of costs for electronic discovery production. However, the Court finds Plaintiff's Objections to be without merit and agrees with the Magistrate Judge's conclusions. The Magistrate Judge carefully considered the requested costs and correctly concluded that these costs are the modern-day equivalent of exemplification of copies and paper that are compensable under § 1920(4), particularly where as here the parties expressly agreed to produce in that format. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: 1. The Report and Recommendation [DE-363] is hereby ADOPTED and APPROVED; 2. Defendant's Bill of Costs [DE-351] is hereby GRANTED. Plaintiff is taxed costs in the total amount of $252,980.52 (representing the total claimed of $350,947.32, minus $535.02 in costs related to pro hac vice applications, minus $33,933.82 in deposition costs, plus $2,157.81 in electronic discovery management fees, minus $65,655.79 in copying costs). DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida, this 16th day of September, 2011.
