Case No.: BC624558

Hearing Date: August 22, 2018

[TENTATIVE] order RE:

MOTION TO STRIKE AND/OR TAX DEFENDANT’S FEES AND COSTS

BACKGROUND

Plaintiffs Nicole and Ryan Cramer (“Plaintiffs”) bring an action against Defendant FCA US, LLC (“Defendant”), asserting causes of action for arising out of the Beverly-Song Act. On May 3, 2018 the Court issued a Judgment on Special Verdict after trial on April 11, 2018. The jury found that Nicole and Ryan Cramer were not entitled to recover any amount as restitution for the motor vehicle. The Court ordered that Plaintiffs take nothing by way of their Complaint and that Defendant FCA US LLC recover from Plaintiff costs as determined by the Court based upon Defendant’s separately filed Memorandum of Costs, and subsequent motions.

ANALYSIS

Except as otherwise expressly provided by statute, a prevailing party is entitled as a matter of right to recover costs in any action or proceeding.
