Baughman v. Krebs12/10/1998
ed and included in the judgment. Williamson v. Ameritech Corp. (1998), 81 Ohio App.3d 342, 691 N.E.2d 288. R.C. 2317.27 does not provide a statutory basis for taxing the services of a court reporter as costs under Civ.R. 54(B) nor are expert witness fees to be awarded as costs. See Williamson, supra; Williams v. Colasurd (1995), 71 Ohio St.3d 642, 644, 646 N.E.2d 830.
In the case sub judice, a review of the expenses sought by plaintiffs-appellants demonstrates that, since there is no statutory authority for the taxing of such expenses as costs, the trial court did not err by overruling plaintiffs-appellants' motion. See Carr v. Lunney (1995), 104 Ohio App.3d 139, 142; Bauer v. Georgeff (Sept. 1, 1998), Franklin App. No. 97APE03-313, unreported.
Plaintiffs-appellants' fourth and final assignment of error is not well taken.
Judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
It is ordered that appellee recover of appellant its costs herein taxed.
The Court finds there were reasonable grounds for this appeal.
It is ordered that a special mandate issue out of this Court directing the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court to carry this judgment into execution.
A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
TERRENCE O'DONNELL, P.J. AND JAMES D. SWEENEY, J., CONCUR
