- ilnd;;1:13-cv-01161_de46 RegisterActionDescriptionText "ORDER: Defendants' motion 24 for attorneys' fees and costs is granted in part and denied in part. "[A]ttorneys' fees are not a recoverable cost of litigation under Rule 41(d) unless the substantive statute which formed the basis of the original suit allows for the recovery of such fees as costs." Esposito v. Piatrowski, 223 F.3d 497, 501 (7th Cir. 2000). Because Plaintiff's claims are primarily common law breach of contract and tort claims, Defendants cannot point to a statute permitting the recovery of attorney's fees. Furthermore, Defendants have not shown that Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissal and refilling of its case in this District was in bad faith and warrant sanctions. C.f. Methode v. Elecs., Inc. v. Adam Techs., Inc., 371 F.3d 923, 925 (7th Cir. 2004) (finding sanctions appropriate because plaintiff's venue allegations were "intentionally false" and "an effort to deceive the court"). Thus, Defendants motion for attorneys fees is denied. [For further details see attached order.] Signed by the Honorable John Z. Lee on 12/9/13Mailed notice(ca, ). (Entered: 12/09/2013)" @default.
