ORDER TAXING COSTS
THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon Plaintiff Behavior Analyst Certification Board
Inc.’s (“Plaintiff”) Bill of Costs and Memorandum of Law in Support of Bill of Costs. ECF Nos.
[56]-[57] (collectively “Motion for Bill of Costs” or “Motion”). Therein, Plaintiff seeks $402.00
in taxable costs as the prevailing party in this case. ECF No. [57] at 2 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1920).
The $402.00 requested is the amount of the filing fee. Id.; see also ECF No. [56] at 5.
After a review of the materials submitted by Plaintiff, the Court finds that the requested
costs are reasonable and recoverable. See Goodman v. Sperduti Enterps., Inc., No. 08-62096-CIV,
2009 WL 3200681, at *3 (S.D. Fla. Oct. 6, 2009) (“There is no question that Plaintiff is entitled to
the cost of the filing fee because it falls into one of the categories of reimbursable costs under 28
U.S.C. § 1920[.]”). Therefore, Plaintiff is entitled to recover $402.00 in taxable costs.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:
1. Plaintiff’s Motion, ECF Nos. [56]-[57], is GRANTED.
Case No. 21-cv-21873-BLOOM/Otazo-Reyes

2. Plaintiff is entitled to $402.00 in taxable costs from Defendant Marta Pelaez
Elvirez.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, on March 30, 2023.
