In an intellectual property suit he characterized as “devoid of civility and professional conduct,” Senior U.S. District Judge Royal Furgeson of the Northern District of Texas denied a defense motion to shift the taxable costs to the plaintiff. The Jan 3 order came in M3 Girl Designs LLC v. Blue Brownies LLC, et al.
In the order denying the defendants’ motion for taxable costs, Furgeson wrote that “both sides are not guiltless in regard to civility issues,” but defense attorney Charles Hanor’s conduct was “in question” because the motion was filed by the defendants, who had secured a take-nothing judgment.
