Jury Fees

Jury fees are recoverable. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1033.5(a)(1).) Plaintiff is not seeking jury fees for trial but rather the $150 jury deposit required by California courts. (Code Civ. Proc., § 631.) Defendant provides no authority which precludes the recovery of the jury fee deposit. Thus, the jury fees are not taxed.

Motions to Compel

Motion fees are recoverable. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1033.5(a)(1).) Defendant provides no authority which supports this claim and argues the motions were one-sided and unnecessary. However, each motion was granted at least in part. Thus, the fees to file the motions to compel are not taxed.

Service of Process

Service of process of the summons and complaint is recoverable. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1033.5(a)(4).) However, service of other papers such as depositions or motions are not expressly allowed. Thus, $415.09 is taxed.

Mediator Fees

Plaintiff concedes the $100 fee on 9/15/25 was included in error and requests the Court strike that fee. Defendant seeks to strike the other $100 fee for mediation through Smart ADR on 6/12/25. Mediation fees may be awardable at the court’s discretion under Code of Civil Procedure, section 1033.5(c)(4). (Gibson v. Bobroff (1996) 49
