MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
BACKGROUND AND FACTS
Brandon Haun (“Defendant”) filed his voluntary chapter 7 petition for bankruptcy relief on April 23, 2007. Brooke Kil-born (“Plaintiff’) filed this adversary proceeding seeking to except from discharge a debt Defendant owed to her. She alleged the debt was nondischargeable under § 523(a)(2)(A), § 523(a)(4) and § 523(a)(6).1 Each cause was based on Plaintiffs December 21, 2005 loan of $50,000.00 to Defendant, and what she contended was his promise to repay her $100,000.00 on or before May 13, 2006.
On the day of the scheduled trial in the adversary proceeding before this Court, counsel for the parties appeared and stipulated to the entry of a nondischargeable money judgment in favor of Plaintiff. See Doc. No. 24 (“minute entry”).2 However, the parties were not in agreement as to whether Plaintiff should also recover attorneys’ fees, and they stipulated that this contested issue would be addressed through future submissions and arguments.3
Based on this understanding, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking attorneys’ fees of $16,050.00 and costs of $1,398.34. See Doc. No. 25. She also filed supporting statements of counsel itemizing the same. Id. *525at attach. 1-2. Plaintiff also filed a memorandum of authorities. Id. at attach. 3. Defendant objected and filed a memorandum in opposition. See Doc. No. 26.4
At the initial hearing on Plaintiffs fee request, the Court granted an opportunity for supplemental briefing.5 That briefing was filed. See Doc. Nos. 28, 29.
Having reviewed and considered all of the parties’ oral and written arguments, relevant case law, and the record, the Court here enters its findings and conclusions on the fee issue.
DISCUSSION AND DISPOSITION
A. Fobian does not control, but neither does Travelers
Prior to March, 2007, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals followed the so-called Fobian rule when faced with requests for attorneys’ fees in the context of bankruptcy litigation. See Fobian v. Western Farm Credit Bank (In re Fobian), 951 F.2d 1149 (9th Cir.1991). Specifically, the Ninth Circuit ruled that: “[W]here the litigated issues involve not basic contract enforcement questions, but issues peculiar to federal bankruptcy law, attorney’s fees will not be awarded absent bad faith or harassment by the losing party.” Id. at 1153. This Court had applied Fobian in adversary proceedings, including dis-chargeability litigation under § 523. See, e.g., Jenkins v. Sroufe (In re Sroufe), 261 B.R. 35, 01.1 I.B.C.R. 38 (Bankr.D.Idaho 2001) (citing Renfrow v. Draper, 232 F.3d 688 (9th Cir.2000); Idaho First Nat’l Bank v. LeMaster (In re LeMaster), 147 B.R. 52, 92 I.B.C.R. 208 (Bankr.D.Idaho 1992)).
In March, 2007, the Supreme Court in Travelers Cas. & Sur. Co. of Am. v. Pac. Gas & Elec. Co., 549 U.S. 443, 127 S.Ct. 1199, 167 L.Ed.2d 178 (2007), abrogated the Fobian rule. However, even though the Supreme Court in Travelers rejected Fobian’s blanket prohibition on recovery of post-petition fees incurred in litigating bankruptcy issues, it declined to decide whether fees were recoverable in that case and remanded that question, and further declined to address several other arguments regarding the allowance and award of attorneys’ fees.
The Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel addressed the question of attorneys’ fees after Travelers. See Centre Ins. Co. v. SNTL Corp. (In re SNTL Corp.), 380 B.R. 204 (9th Cir.BAP2007).6 So has this Court. See Hopkins v. Saratoga Hold*526ings, LLC (In re Colvin), 08.2 I.B.C.R. 63, 2008 WL 1957855 (Bankr.D.Idaho 2008). Colvin determined that Travelers did not “precisely control” the issue of attorneys’ fees in the adversary proceeding there at issue, and that SNTL was distinguishable. See Colvin, 2008 WL 1957855, at *2, 08.2 I.B.C.R. at 64.7
This Court reaches the same basic conclusion as Colvin: neither Travelers nor SNTL precisely control in the instant case. But it further concludes that Colvin itself is distinguishable since Colvin, like Travelers and SNTL, did not deal with an adversary proceeding contesting dischargeability of debt under § 523(a).
B. Cohen controls
In July 2008, the BAP addressed, in a post-Travelers context, recovery of attorneys’ fees in § 523(a) litigation. See Levitt v. Cook (In re Levitt), BAP No. AZ-07-1166 (9th Cir. BAP July 22, 2008).8 In Levitt, the bankruptcy court held certain debts arising from the presentation of checks not supported by sufficient funds and from misrepresentations as to the ownership of collateral were nondischargeable under § 523(a)(2). The bankruptcy court also awarded the creditor plaintiff attorneys’ fees. The BAP affirmed the nondischargeability judgment, but reversed and remanded the fee award.
In regard to the attorneys’ fees, Levitt states:
Citing Travelers Cas. & Sur. Co. of Am. v. Pac. Gas & Elec., 549 U.S. 443, 127 S.Ct. 1199, 167 L.Ed.2d 178 (2007), Creditor sought and recovered attorneys’ fees incurred in prosecuting the section 523 action. While we agree that Travelers and our decision in Centre Ins. Co. v. SNTL Corp. (In re SNTL Corp.), 380 B.R. 204, 223 (9th Cir.BAP2007), support the proposition that an unsecured creditor may assert a postpetition claim against the estate if governing contracts and state law permit such fees, these cases apply to claims against the estate and not to nondischargeable claims against a debtor. Instead, Cohen v. de la Cruz, 523 U.S. 213, 118 S.Ct. 1212, 140 L.Ed.2d 341 (1998), governs.
In Cohen, the Supreme Court held that the discharge exception set forth in section 523(a)(2)(A) applies to all liability arising on account of the fraudulent conduct, including attorneys’ fees and costs. Cohen, 523 U.S. at 223, 118 S.Ct. 1212. That said, to recover attorneys’ fees under Cohen, the creditor must be able to recover the fees outside the bankruptcy court under state or federal law. Bertola [v. Northern Wisconsin Produce Co., (In re Bertola)], 317 B.R. [95] at 99-100 [(9th Cir. BAP 2004)].
*527Levitt, at 14-15 (emphasis added).9
The BAP then proceeded in Levitt to consider two Arizona statutory provisions advanced by the creditor plaintiff in support of the proposition that fees would be recoverable. It concluded that one (allowing a prevailing party fees in a “contested action arising out of a contract”) was not shown to be applicable. It decided, however, that the other (allowing for recovery of fees “on the basis of time and effort expended” in pursuing relief for fraudulently tendered NSF checks) might apply but that the creditor had not shown which portion of the asserted fees was attributable to that aspect of the action. The matter was remanded so that such an apportionment of fees could be made. Id. at 15-16.
The fundamental distinction made in Levitt between claiming fees against the estate or against the debtor is apropos. Cohen addresses the recovery of attorneys’ fees against a debtor in nondischargeability litigation, the situation presented in Levitt and that presented here, while Travelers, SNTL and Colvin all involve assertion of fee claims against the estate.10
Bertola, a case cited by the BAP in Levitt, summarized the development of authority governing recovery of fees in § 523 litigation:
In federal courts, attorneys’ fees ordinarily are not recoverable by the prevailing party in an action except by contract or by statute. Alyeska Pipeline Serv. Co. v. Wilderness Soc’y, 421 U.S. 240, 257, 95 S.Ct. 1612, 44 L.Ed.2d 141 (1975). This principle is known as the American Rule.
In addition to the American Rule, there is no general right to recover attorneys’ fees under the Bankruptcy Code. Heritage Ford v. Baroff (In re Baroff), 105 F.3d 439, 441 (9th Cir.1997). Instead, whether fees may be awarded in bankruptcy proceedings generally depends, in part, on whether the case involves state or federal claims and whether the applicable law allows such fees. “[A] prevailing party in a bankruptcy proceeding may be entitled to an award of attorney fees in accordance with applicable state law if state law governs the substantive issues raised in the proceedings.” Id.; see also Am. Express Travel Related Servs. Co. v. Hashemi (In re Hashemi), 104 F.3d 1122, 1126-27 (9th Cir.1996).
In cases under § 523(a)(2), however, “the determinative question ... is whether the successful plaintiff could recover attorney’s fees in a non-bankruptcy court.” [(In re Pham)][AT&T Universal Card Servs. Corp. v.] Pham, 250 B.R. [93] at 99 [(9th Cir. BAP 2000)]. In Pham, we held that the general rule of Baroff and Hashemi no *528longer retain any vitality with respect to cases under this section in light of Cohen v. de la Cruz, 523 U.S. 213, 118 S.Ct. 1212, 140 L.Ed.2d 341 (1998). Cohen held that a bankruptcy court could determine the “debt” in a proceeding under § 523(a)(2)(A) to include attorneys’ fees and costs. Id. at 223, 118 S.Ct. at 1212. Thus if Northern Wisconsin could recover attorneys’ fees in a non-bankruptcy court on its action under § 523(a)(2), those fees will be recoverable.
317 B.R. at 99-100.11
The last line of Bertola here quoted— indicating that the critical question is whether the creditor “could recover attorneys’ fees in a non-bankruptcy court on its action under § 523(a)(2)”—is imprecise. There can be no “ § 523(a)(2) action” in state court, since “state courts lack jurisdiction to adjudicate § 523(a)(2) actions.” Rein v. Providian Fin. Corp., 270 F.3d 895, 904 (9th Cir.2001) (noting that “[b]ankruptcy courts and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all nondis-chargeability actions except those brought under § 523(a)(2), (4), (6) and (15).”).
This language of Bertola cannot, therefore, be read literally. In light of Cohen and Pham, the inquiry instead must be whether the creditor plaintiff would be entitled to fees in state court for establishing those elements of the claim which the bankruptcy court finds support a conclusion of nondischargeability.
In this case, the Court concludes that the parties’ stipulation creates a nondis-chargeable judgment under § 523(a)(2)(A).12 Not only does this appear to be the basis of the judgment, see note 2 supra, it is the only one of the three initially pleaded § 523(a) causes that was later argued by the parties in their briefing on the subject of fees. So, here, the Court must consider whether Plaintiff would be entitled to recover fees in an Idaho state court for establishing the existence of a fraud debt owed to her by Defendant.
C. Fees under Idaho law
Generally, a party claiming attorneys’ fees must assert the specific statute, rule or case authority supporting its claim. Colvin, 08.2 I.B.C.R. at 65, 2008 WL 1957855, at *4. Here, two provisions are effectively asserted: Idaho Code § 12-121 and § 12—120(3).13
1. Idaho Code § 12-121
Idaho Code § 12-121 states:
In any civil action, the judge may award reasonable attorney’s fees to the prevailing party or parties, provided that this section shall not alter, repeal or amend *529any statute which otherwise provides for the award of attorney’s fees. The term “party” or “parties” is defined to include any person, partnership, corporation, association, private organization, the state of Idaho or political subdivision thereof.
The statute is limited by Idaho R. Civ. P. 54(e)(1) which states “attorney fees under section 12-121, Idaho Code, may be awarded by the court only when it finds, from the facts presented to it, that the case was brought, pursued or defended frivolously, unreasonably or without foundation.” Id. (emphasis added). The determination of whether a case was frivolously or unreasonably pursued falls within the sound discretion of the trial court.14
Here, despite the impassioned arguments of Plaintiffs counsel at hearing and in briefing that the case was unreasonably defended, the Court never had “facts presented to it” upon which to evaluate the assertions. First, the case was not tried. The Court thus had no opportunity to evaluate the nature of Defendant’s case, the character or nature of his legal or factual defense(s), or his trial conduct. Second, at the hearing on the issue of attorneys’ fees, Plaintiff offered no evidence nor did she otherwise attempt to make any showing regarding why Defendant’s conduct fell within Idaho Rule of Civil Procedure 54(e)(1).
Plaintiff argues that Defendant’s stipulation to judgment on the day of trial is indicative of his bad faith defense, and suggests this reflects Defendant never had legitimate defenses to the causes of action in her complaint. The Court cannot make such a finding solely from the act of settlement. Settlements prior to trial, even the morning of trial, are not uncommon. Settlements rarely include any acknowledgment of the merits of the opposing party’s case or a concession of the lack of merit to one’s own case. Nothing in the orally announced settlement on the day of trial here suggested Defendant conceded that defenses raised were frivolous, unreasonable or lacked foundation.15 The mere fact of settlement does not constitute a basis for awarding fees under Idaho Code § 12-121.
In the absence of a trial, and with no hearings ever conducted other than a pre*530trial conference and the fee hearing itself, the Court has little record to evaluate. That record is insufficient to establish the requisite “abiding belief’ the Court must have in order to impose fees under this provision.
The request made under Idaho Code § 12-121 will be denied.
2. Idaho Code § 12-120(3)
Idaho Code § 12-120(3) states:
In any civil action to recover on an open account, account stated, note, bill, negotiable instrument, guaranty, or contract relating to the purchase or sale of goods, wares, merchandise, or services and in any commercial transaction unless otherwise provided by law, the prevailing party shall be allowed a reasonable attorney’s fee to be set by the court, to be taxed and collected as costs.
Under this provision, the Court must determine if Plaintiff is a “prevailing party” and whether the gravamen of the litigation dealt with a “commercial transaction.” Neither the absence of a proven contract, nor the fact that Plaintiffs claim is based on fraud, precludes operation of Idaho Code § 12-120(3). See Blimka v. My Web Wholesaler, LLC, 143 Idaho 723, 152 P.3d 594, 599-600 (2007) (holding that “[f]rom time to time the Court has denied fees under I.C. § 12-120(3) on the commercial transaction ground either because the claim sounded in tort or because no contract was involved. The commercial transaction ground in I.C. § 12-120(3) neither prohibits a fee award for a commercial transaction that involves tortious conduct ... nor does it require that there be a contract. Any previous holdings to the contrary are overruled.”).
a. Plaintiff was the prevailing party
As Defendant stipulated to a $60,000.00 judgment in favor of Plaintiff and the nondischargeability of that debt under § 523(a)(2)(A), it is clear that Plaintiff is the prevailing party on that cause. The fact that, in settling the case in this fashion, Plaintiff did not recover on her § 523(a)(4) and (6) causes of action does not require a contrary conclusion. See Eighteen Mile Ranch, LLC v. Nord Excavating & Paving, Inc., 141 Idaho 716, 117 P.3d 130, 133 (2005) (determining that prevailing party is determined “from an overall view, not a claim-by-claim analysis”). In the most basic sense of the term, Plaintiff “prevailed” in the litigation.
b. The action involved a “commercial transaction”
The Idaho Code defines “commercial transaction” as “all transactions except transactions for personal or household purposes.” Idaho Code § 12-120(3). In determining if the transaction in Blimka was a commercial transaction, the Idaho Supreme Court noted that “[a] transaction involving the sale of 26,500 pairs of jeans is not made for personal or household purposes. Rather, it is a business or commercial transaction, as Blimka obviously intended to market the jeans rather than wear them.” 152 P.3d at 599. Thus, the focus must be on the purpose of the transaction.
Again, the absence of a trial leaves the Court in a difficult posture. There was no evidence presented as to the details of the transaction or the purpose of the loan. There are, however, certain parts of the pleading record in this adversary proceeding and in Defendant’s underlying chapter 7 case that are relevant to the question.16
*531Defendant listed Plaintiff on his schedule F (unsecured creditors). Though he scheduled her as holding a contingent, disputed and unliquidated claim, Defendant styled the nature of that claim as an “alleged loan for real estate investment.” Case No. 07-00633-TLM at Doc. No. 17 (emphasis added). Defendant’s pre-trial brief, while not evidence, does not contradict his description of the transaction found in his sworn schedules. See, e.g., Doc. No. 19 at 5-6 (characterizing Plaintiffs actions as an investment of money with Defendant to buy real properties). In sum, there is nothing in this record to suggest the $50,000.00 loan Plaintiff made to Defendant was for personal or household purposes. The weight of what is before the Court, though perhaps slight, is to the contrary.
Blimka’s transaction involving 26,500 pair of jeans was found to be a business or commercial transaction “as Blimka obviously intended to market the jeans rather than wear them.” 152 P.3d at 599. Here, Plaintiffs advance of $50,000.00 to Defendant was similarly for business investment and profit rather than, for example, the purchase of her personal residence. Cf. Bajrektarevic v. Lighthouse Home Loans, Inc., 143 Idaho 890, 155 P.3d 691, 694 (2007) (determining that the refinancing of a home loan was for personal or household purposes and did not constitute a commercial transaction).
The subject transaction is found to be “commercial” in nature within the Idaho Supreme Court’s construction of that term, and this prong of Idaho Code § 12-120(3) is met.
c. Establishing the amount of fees
Since Plaintiff was the prevailing party, and since a commercial transaction was involved, Plaintiff is entitled to recover “a reasonable attorney’s fee to be set by the court.” Idaho Code § 12-120(3). As stated in Colvin, “while the award of attorney’s fees is mandatory, the amount thereof is subject to the Court’s discretion.” 08.2 I.B.C.R. at 66, 2008 WL 1957855, at *6 (citing P.O. Ventures, Inc. v. Loucks Family Irrevocable Trust, 144 Idaho 233, 159 P.3d 870 (2007)). Colvin notes that, under Idaho law, several factors are to be considered. Id. (citing Idaho R. Civ. P. 54(e)(3)). See also Wiggins v. Peachtree Settlement Funding (In re Wiggins), 02.1 I.B.C.R. 8, 9-13 (Bankr.D.Idaho 2002) (addressing Idaho R. Civ. P. 54(e)(3) standards, there applicable under Idaho Code § 12-121 and § 48-608).
Plaintiffs counsel filed a statement to support the request of $16,050.00 in fees. Doc. No. 25, at attach. 1. The assertions in that statement are aimed at the standards under Idaho R. Civ. P. 54(e)(3)(A), (B), (C), and (D). These sub-parts of the Rule address the factors of time and labor required; novelty and difficulty of the questions presented; the skill required to perform the legal services properly, and the experience and ability of the attorney; and the prevailing charges for like work. The statement raises a number of problems and concerns.
(1) There are several entries in counsel’s affidavit for services rendered in April, 2007. They total 5.3 hours. All address in some fashion the existence of a bankruptcy filing, including the impact of bankruptcy filing on the state court action. *532Defendant, however, did not file his petition for bankruptcy relief until April 23, 2007, raising obvious issues as to the bulk of this time.
The Court did independently determine that Cheri Haun, a co-defendant in Plaintiffs state court action, filed a chapter 7 petition on April 9, 2007.17 This seems to explain a reference in the April 11 time entry to “bankruptcy of Cheryl Haun” but does not explain entries on April 9, 11 or 12 seemingly referring to a bankruptcy by Defendant.18
In any event, the Court concludes that all these April services are outside the scope of this adversary proceeding which did not commence until July, 2007. As such, compensation for these services will not be awarded as part of the attorneys’ fees for this litigation. The total time sought will be reduced by 5.3 hours.
(2) Counsel’s statement asserts that “extensive” time and labor were required “because of the unusual technical nature of this case and the detailed facts.” Doc. No. 25 at attach. 1, p. 3, ¶ 7. It also states: “This case presented novel, difficult and diverse legal questions. The case presented unusual legal issues concerning fraud, dischargeability issues and collection issues.” Id. at ¶ 8.
The Court concludes these several assertions are overstated. The action has a basic, straight-forward premise — Defendant solicited an investment from Plaintiff upon the promise of a substantial return in a short period of time, a promise Plaintiff claimed was fraudulent. Rather than presenting “unusual,” “technical,” “novel,” “diverse” or “difficult” issues, the claims varied little from most fraud contentions and, from what was provided to the Court (such as the statements at the pre-trial conference, the pre-trial briefing, and copies of discovery during an aborted compulsion motion), there were few if any esoteric issues.19
This issue informs the ultimate conclusion on the reasonable amount of fees to be awarded, addressed below.
(3) The affidavit “lumps” all legal services rendered on a given date into a single time entry for that date, rather than describing the time spent on discrete services. For example, the entry for 10.5 hours on February 19, 2008 states:
Prepare for trial; telephone conference with atty French and client re: possible settlement; prepare subpoenas for Haun bank records and serve.
Doc. No. 25 at attach. 1, p. 6. The entry for 8.0 hours of services on February 20, 2008 states:
*533Prepare for trial; negotiate settlement with atty French and client; place stipulation on record and prepare Memorandum of atty fees and costs.
Id. 20
“Listing only the total charge for lumped services deprives the Court of the ability to weigh the reasonableness of either the amount of time spent or the amount charged for the individual services.” Colvin, 08.2 I.B.C.R. at 66, 2008 WL 1957855, at *6; see also In re Jones, 356 B.R. 39, 45-46 (Bankr.D.Idaho 2005).21 The February 19 and 20 examples are but two of several such lumped entries.
(4) There are additional issues with certain other entries.
Counsel asserts a 1.0 hour charge on October 22, 2007, for the pre-trial conference in this adversary proceeding. Again there is a date error; the pre-trial conference actually occurred on October 17, not October 22. In addition, the hour claimed is not consistent with the Court’s recall of the amount of time involved, which would have justified a charge of no more than .5 hours.22 As no other service is described in this entry, the additional .5 hour charge cannot be allowed.
Counsel also asserts a charge of 1.0 hour on October 30, 2007, to “forward state court discovery to [Defendant’s counsel].” If the entry is to reflect that counsel gave instructions to administrative or clerical staff to forward the discovery materials from the files, the time claimed is excessive. If the entry is meant to indicate that counsel personally performed the task, it is noncompensable clerical work rather than *534compensable legal services. This 1.0 hour charge will be disallowed.
(5) The affidavit proposes a rate of $300.00 per hour for the legal services itemized. There is nothing proffered to support this hourly rate beyond counsel’s own assertion that it is appropriate for the type of services rendered in this case and for a lawyer of his experience.
This Court regularly reviews and considers rates for attorneys hired in complex chapter 11 proceedings and by bankruptcy trustees. It also often hears evidence or argument concerning rates of Idaho counsel, not just in bankruptcy cases but in commercial litigation generally. Moreover, this Court regularly tries adversary proceedings involving allegedly fraudulent business transactions. Even given the years of counsel’s years of experience, the $300.00 hourly rate is higher than the rates this Court has seen charged by skilled counsel in the Boise area trying cases of the sort involved here.
Since $300.00 per hour is, in the Court’s experience, high for the sort of commercial litigation here involved, and in the absence of a showing to support that rate, the Court will adjust the hourly rate to $225.00 per hour — a rate well within the range of rates it has seen other comparably experienced lawyers in this part of Idaho23 charge in similar adversary litigation over dischargeability and commercial disputes — and will apply that rate to the time entries set out in the affidavit remaining after the specific reductions above noted.
After those reductions, the time that was actually, necessarily and reasonably expended on legal services in this case, according to the balance of the submissions, totals 43.7 hours.24 The application of the rate of $225.00 per hour to that time yields a total attorneys’ fee of $9,832.50.
In considering all the factors set out in Idaho R. Civ. P. 54(e)(3), and the specific issues noted in this Decision, the Court concludes that the fees requested are excessive but that an appropriate and reasonable attorneys’ fee is $9,832.50, and that amount is awarded under Idaho Code § 12-120(3) and the Idaho Rules.25
D. Costs
Costs are a procedural matter and are taxed under LBR 7054.1. Colvin, 08.2 I.B.C.R. at 67, 2008 WL 1957855; Oldemeyer v. Couch-Russell (In re Couch-Russell), 04.1 I.B.C.R. 9, 11 (Bankr.D.Idaho 2004); Thomason Farms, Inc. v. Tri-River Chemical Co. (In re Thomason Farms, Inc.), 02.2 I.B.C.R. 107, 109 (Bankr.D.Idaho 2002). To comply with LBR 7054.1(a), a cost bill must itemize costs and be supported by a certificate of counsel attesting that the costs are correctly stated, were necessarily incurred, and are allowed by law. Under LBR 7054. 1, taxable costs include: clerk’s fees and service fees; costs of trial or other transcripts if requested by the Court or pre*535pared pursuant to stipulation; deposition costs; witness fees, mileage and subsistence; costs of reproducing exhibits; costs of maps, diagrams and charts; and other costs with prior court approval.26
Defendant argues that the format of Plaintiffs request does not comply with the Local Rule. While Plaintiffs approach invites such criticism, the Court has reviewed the “statement” of Plaintiffs counsel and finds that the material requirements of LBR 7054.1 as to counsel’s “certification” are satisfied. What is not clear, however, is that all the costs certified as falling within the Local Rule in fact fall within it.
Plaintiff claims costs for or related to four depositions of Defendant, all of which occurred in 2006. This was well before the July 24, 2007, commencement of the instant adversary proceeding. It appears clear enough that they were taken in or in connection with the state court action. This Court only taxes costs incurred in connection with the adversary proceeding filed and prosecuted before it. See, e.g., LBR 7054.1(c)(9) (referencing the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1924 which, in turn, requires the taxed costs be “necessarily incurred in the case”).27 Defendant’s objection to these costs will be sustained.28
Plaintiffs costs for the adversary proceeding filing fee ($250.00) will be allowed. See LBR 7054.1(c)(1). The costs claimed for the March 6, 2007 deposition of Plaintiff ($197.92) will also be allowed. See LBR 7054.1(c)(3).
CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff will be allowed and awarded attorneys’ fees under Idaho Code § 12-120(3) and other applicable authority in the amount of $9,832.50, and allowed and awarded reimbursement of costs under Fed. R. Bankr.P. 7054(b) and LBR 7054.1 in the amount of $447.92. An order in accord with this Decision will be entered by the Court.
