                         RULE 14.4
                         COST BILL

    (a) Generally. Except as provided in sections (b) and (c), a party
seeking costs on review must file a cost bill with the appellate court and
serve a copy of the cost bill on all parties within 10 days after the
filing of an appellate court decision terminating review. If a party seeks
costs for an expense incurred after the time to file a cost bill has
expired, that party must serve on all parties and file a supplemental cost
bill with the appellate court within 10 days after the expense was
incurred. If a decision terminating review is modified to the extent that a
different party is entitled to costs, the party seeking costs must file a
cost bill with the appellate court and serve a copy of the cost bill on all
parties within 10 days after the filing of the decision which modifies the
original decision terminating review.
    (b) When Costs Abide Final Result and There Is no Second Review. If the
costs on review are to abide the final determination in the trial court and
that final determination is not reviewed by the appellate court, a party
seeking costs must, within 30 days after the time to seek review of the
trial court decision has expired, file with the appellate court and serve
on each party: (1) a cost bill for costs on review, or if a cost bill was
filed for the earlier review, a copy of the cost bill previously filed in
the appellate court, (2) a copy of the final determination of the trial
court, and (3) an affidavit stating that a notice of appeal or notice for
discretionary review of the decision finally determining the case has not
been filed.
    (c) When Costs Abide Final Result and There Is a Second Review. If the
costs on review are to abide the final determination of the case by the
trial court and that final determination is reviewed by the appellate
court, the costs of the earlier review will be taxed at the same time the
costs of the later review are taxed. A party seeking costs of the earlier
review must file (1) a cost bill for costs on the earlier review or, if a
cost bill was filed for the earlier review, a copy of the cost bill for the
earlier review, and (2) a cost bill for the later review.
