226 (D.D.C., 1957) Todd Atlantic Shipyards Corps. §1920, but in the absence of a rule some district courts have held themselves without authority to tax the cost ( Perlman v. Taxation of the cost of the reporter's transcript is specifically authorized by 28 U.S.C. They are made taxable in the district court for general convenience.

Rule 25, as amended June 2, 1967) presently tax the cost of printing briefs, the proposed rule makes the cost taxable in keeping with the principle of this rule that all cost items expended in the prosecution of a proceeding should be borne by the unsuccessful party.

Section 2412 as amended generally places the United States on the same footing as private parties with respect to the award of costs in civil cases. §2412, the former general bar to the award of costs against the United States.

The rules of the courts of appeals at present commonly deny costs to the United States except as allowance may be directed by statute. These statutes are controlling in cases to which they apply. §1928, which forbids the award of costs to a successful plaintiff in a patent infringement action under the circumstances described by the statute). A few statutes contain specific provisions in derogation of these general provisions. The provisions of this subdivision follow the usual practice in the circuits.
