Fourth District, Division 1 So Rules in Unpublished Decision.
In Jameson v. Desta, Case No. D053089 (4th Dist., Div. 1 Nov. 23, 2009) (certified for partial publication, but pertinent part for this post unpublished), the Fourth District, Division 1 held that paralegal fees are not recoverable as “costs on appeal” under California Rules of Court, rule 8.276. Because the party claiming appellate costs could identify no basis under rule 8.276 or otherwise as a supporting anchor, the trial court’s motion to tax these paralegal fees was sustained on appeal.
