Following a prior motion and costs ruling, the court issued an amended costs decision after receiving correspondence suggesting a mathematical error.
It was later discovered that the correspondence had been sent in error and that the parties had already reached a settlement before the amended decision was released.
The court held that the amended costs decision should not have been issued and rescinded it, restoring the original costs decision.
The self‑represented defendant sought to reopen the original costs ruling, but the court declined to do so.
However, the court awarded the defendant costs for the additional attendance required to address the issue.
