CORRECTED ORDER
The Plaintiffs have moved for the Court to review the action of the Court Clerk in refusing to tax the costs of the above-styled consolidated cases and alternatively have moved to extend their time to file a bill of costs.
The Court finds and concludes that the action of the Court Clerk in refusing to tax the costs was proper and that the time to file the bill of costs may not be extended.
The Judgment in the above-styled consolidated cases was filed on December 3, 1970. Rule 6(e) of the Local Court Rules provides:
“(e) Upon entry of judgment or decree in any case or proceeding, the party recovering costs shall within ten (10) days file a verified bill of costs with the Clerk upon forms provided by him; which shall have endorsed thereon proof of service upon the opposite party. The Clerk shall tax the costs in accordance with Rule 54(d), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. * * * ”
On December 18, 1970, the Plaintiffs filed their bill of costs with the Court Clerk. On December 29, 1970 the Clerk conducted a hearing on the bill of costs. Defendant Andresen & Co. and Third Party Defendant, Insurance Company of North America objected to allowing any part of the bill of costs asserting that the bill was not timely filed. On January 15, 1971 the Clerk denied the bill of costs in its entirety as not being timely filed citing Rule 6(e) of the Local Rules and Woods Construction Co. v. Atlas Chemical Industries, Inc., 337 F.2d 888 (Tenth Cir. 1964).
As Local Rule 6(e) is a Rule made and adopted by this Court, the members of this Court are possessed with knowledge of the precise intent of the Rule and may interpret their own Rule, if necessary. This member of the Court has been authorized to speak for all members of the Court in stating that *141it is the intention of Rule 6(e) that a bill of costs be filed within ten (10) days from the entry of judgment as provided by Rule 58, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or the right to file such a bill is lost and that such is the interpretation of said Local Rule by all the members of this Court.1 Our Circuit in Woods Construction Co. v. Atlas Chemical Industries, Inc., Supra, has concluded to this same effect.2
Plaintiffs argue that because Motions For New Trial in the consolidated eases were not ruled on within the prescribed ten-day period, Local Rule 6(e) should not commence to run until said Motions had been ruled on.3 This, however, is not what the Rule provides. By Local Rule 6(e) this Court selected the date of judgment and no other date as the date the ten-day period for filing a bill of costs starts to run. A Motion For New Trial by a losing party is not a necessary prerequisite to an appeal by such party. Rule 58, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, was amended in 1963 to provide that every judgment shall be set forth on a separate document. This Amendment was made to make completely clear the date of the entry of a judgment as it relates to giving notice of appeal, moving for a new trial or any other post-judgment relief available to the parties. Thus, as normally a judgment must be entered in every controverted case and the date and method of entering the same has purposely been made clear and definite beyond doubt by Rule 58, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, this Court selected such event and date thereof to start the time for filing a bill of costs.
Plaintiffs finally assert that they are entitled to an extension of time within which to file their bill of costs under Rule 6(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This Rule provides:
“(b) Enlargement. When by these rules or by a notice given thereunder or by order of court an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a specified time, the court for cause shown may at any time in its discretion (1) with or without motion or notice order the period enlarged if request therefor is made before the expiration of the period originally prescribed or as extended by a previous *142order, or (2) upon motion made after the expiration of the specified period permit the act to be done where the failure to act was the result of excusable neglect; but it may not extend the time for taking any action under Rule 50(b), 52(b), 59(b), (d) and (e), and 60(b), except to the extent and under the conditions stated in them.”
Such Rule by its clear language applies to time periods prescribed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and not time periods prescribed by the Rules of this Court. In any event, procedure under the above Rule is discretionary with the Court and this Court will not exercise its discretion to do an act contrary to its own Rules.
The Plaintiffs did not comply with Local Rule 6(e) and have thereby lost their right to have the Clerk tax their costs. The action of the Clerk in refusing to tax the costs was correct and is approved by the Court. The Plaintiffs’ Motion to order the Clerk to tax the costs or in the alternative to grant an extension of time in which to file their bill of costs is denied in its entirety.
