MOTION TO TAX COSTS 

Petitioners James E. Swann, et al. respectfully requests 

that the Court enter an order allowing petitioners their costs 

this Court in No. 281, including the cost of printing the 

appendix, for the reasons stated below. 

Statemen 
  

l. This case was decided April 20, 1971, with an opinion 

Chief Justice Burger for a unanimous Court. This Court's deci- 

sion of April 20, 1971, concluded by stating: 

ons herein set forth, the 

ourt of Appeals is aff

4 petition ror rehearing filed by the Charliotte-Mecklenburg Board 

une 8 requesting that they be allowed their costs in No. 281 

- re \ 
- pursuant to Rule 57(2). The Clerk responded July 7, 1971--having 

in the interim requested and received a response from opposing 

counsel--that no costs were allowed to petitioners and stating: 

The judgment of this Court, entered April 20, 
1971, by its term affirms the judgment of the 
United States Co.rt of Appeals for the Fourth 
Circuit. Under Rule 57(2), costs are allowed to 
the appellant when the judgment of the court 
below is reversed or vacated, which is not the 
case nere. It appears, therefore, that the judg- 
ment was entered in accordance with the rule. 

2. A brief resume of the somewhat unusual procedural history 

granted three separate petitions for certiorari in the case. See 

399 U.S5, 926; 400 U.S. 805: 400 U.S. 802. The first petition in 

No. 281 (previously No. 1713, Oct. Term, 1969) was filed June 18, 

1970, and granted June 29, 1970 (399 U.S. 926). The petition in 

No. 281 was filed by Swann, et al. seeking review of a decision 

| py the Fourth Circuit which, on the school board's appeal from a | 

district court desegregation order of Pebruary. 5, 1970, had 

iv 
"vacated" the district court judgment. The Fourth Circuit

nts in a related case, No. 444, Moore v. Charlot Mecklen-

consolidated with No. 281. Furthermore, petitioners were twice 
requested by the Clerk's office to furnish additional copies of 

  

the petition for certiorari and the voluminous appendix containing 
the many opinions below, so that they thought it a reasonable pre-] 
caution to print a number of extra copies of the appendix. 

The board's counsel, by letter to the Clerk, has also argued | 
that if petitioners obtain costs they should be limited to 72.59 
per page, the price paid by the board in printing the appendix in 
No. 349. Petitioners in No. 281 printed the appendix by Stenaard 
typographic means at prevailing rates in New York without overtime, 
or rush charges notwithstanding the great bulk of the material and 
the short time involved. The ruling urged by the board would, if 
it were adopted by the Court as a precedent, haw the effect of pres

Paxte Peterson, 253 U.S. 300, 317: Newton v. Consolidated GC Co. 

265 U.S. 78; 6 Moore's Federal Practice P.- 1301, et seqg.; cf. 

spraque v. Ticonic National Bank, 307 U.S. 161. Nothing has 

transpired in this case to justify any deviation from the general 

rule of awarding costs to prevailing petitioners. 

It should be noted that this Court has long awarded costs to 

an appellant or petitioner under Rule 57 even where a judgment 

appealed from is reversed only in part. St. Louis & S.F. R. Co. 

v. Spiller, supra. Thus, where only part of a petitioner's argu- 

ments are vindicated on appeal, he is entitled to costs. It 

follows a fortiori that petitioners in this case are entitled to 

costs where they prevailed with respect to the only matters com 

lained about in the judgment below. 

This Court has applied the rule on costs in accordance with 

the purpose and spirit of the rule and has not woode nly applied 

it so as to award costs to parties who prevail in only a formal 

Or nominal sense. Mansfield ¢C. & L.M. R. Co. Vv. Swan, 111 U.S. 

79, 388-389; Rogers v, Durant, 106 U.S. 644. In Mansfield the 

Court, noting that the rule "leaves room for the exercise of dis- 

cretion," awarded costs against a nominally prevailing party: 

~ In the present case, the writ of error is not 

dismissed for want of jurisdiction in this court: 
on the contrary, the jurisdiction of the court 
is exercised in reversing the judgment for want 
Of jurisdiction in the Circuit Court; and although, 
in a formal and nominal sense, the plaintiffs in 
error prevail in obtaining a reversal of a judg- 
ment against them, the cause of that reversal is 
their own fault in invoking a jurisdiction to 
which they had no right to resort, and its effect 
is to defeat the entire proceeding which they 
originated and have prosecuted. In a true and 
Proper sense, the plaintiffs in error are the 
losing and not the prevailing party and, this

lag Newman the Court said (390 U.S. 400, 401-402): 

When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, it 
was evident that enforcement would prove difficult and E f 
that the Nation would have to rely in part u 
litigation as a means of securing broad compl 

the law. A Title II suit is thus private in form only, 
When a plaintiff brings an action under that Title, he 
cannot recover damages. f he obtains an injunction, 

he does so not for himself alone but also as a 

vate attorney general," vindicating a policy that 

Congress considered of the highest priority. If suc- 

cessful plaintiffs were routinely forced to bear their 
own attorneys' fees, few aggrieved parties would be in 
a position to advance the public interest by invoking 

Rjunchive powers of the federal courts Congress 

ore enacted the provision for counse ol fees--not 

nalize litigants who deliberately advance 

Y know to be untenable but, more broadly 
to encourage individuals injured by racial discrimina- 
tion to seek judicial relief under Title II. (Foot 
omitted.)
