`NOTICE
`
`Section 1924, Title 28, U.S. Code (effective September 1, 1948) provides:
`“Sec. 1924. Verification of bill of costs.”
`“Before any bill of costs is taxed, the party claiming any item of cost or disbursement shall attach thereto an affidavit, made by himself or by
`his duly authorized attorney or agent having knowledge of the facts, that such item is correct and has been necessarily incurred in the case and
`that the services for which fees have been charged were actually and necessarily performed.”
`
`See also Section 1920 of Title 28, which reads in part as follows:
`“A bill of costs shall be filed in the case and, upon allowance, included in the judgment or decree.”
`
`The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure contain the following provisions:
`RULE 54(d)(1)
`Costs Other than Attorneys’ Fees.
`Unless a federal statute, these rules, or a court order provides otherwise, costs — other than attorney's fees — should be allowed to the
`prevailing party. But costs against the United States, its officers, and its agencies may be imposed only to the extent allowed by law. The clerk
`may tax costs on 14 day's notice. On motion served within the next 7 days, the court may review the clerk's action.
`
`RULE 6
`(d) Additional Time After Certain Kinds of Service.
`
`When a party may or must act within a specified time after service and service is made under Rule5(b)(2)(C), (D), (E), or (F), 3 days are
`added after the period would otherwise expire under Rule 6(a).
`RULE 58(e)
`Cost or Fee Awards:
`Ordinarily, the entry of judgment may not be delayed, nor the time for appeal extended, in order to tax costs or award fees. But if a
`timely motion for attorney's fees is made under Rule 54(d)(2), the court may act before a notice of appeal has been filed and become
`effective to order that the motion have the same effect under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(4) as a timely motion under Rule 59.
