May 4, 2004, Court hearing5 and $3 relating to the parking fee.
The revised expense report also reflected a reduction to $88.96
for petitioner’s lost wages,6 an increase to $158.64 for postage,
delivery, and office supplies, and an increase to $1,248.90
relating to the purported value of petitioners’ research time.7
On September 28, 2004, petitioners also mailed to the Court
by certified mail petitioners’ reply to respondent’s memorandum
brief (petitioners’ reply brief). The envelope in which
petitioners’ reply brief was mailed is in evidence, and a mailing
cost of $4.42 is indicated thereon. We note that petitioners
apparently did not serve upon respondent’s counsel copies of any
of the documents that petitioners submitted to the Court, and
petitioners do not claim any postage or delivery costs relating
to service copies.
Below is a schedule, by category, of petitioners’ claimed
litigation costs, reflecting the differing amounts petitioners
claim in their original and in their revised expense reports:
5 Petitioners calculated the $10.50 mileage costs at $0.35
per mile for 30 miles.
6 The reduced $88.96 for lost wages was calculated at
$11.12 per hour for 8 hours.
7 The increased $1,248.90 relating to petitioners’ research
time actually reflected a reduction from 141 hours in the
original expense report to 128 hours in the revised expense
report, but the increased $1,248.90 apparently included
additional alleged costs of phone calls, copying, and office
supplies. The record does not indicate the hourly rate
petitioners used in their revised calculation.
