Title of Your Motion:

Put your Jurisdiction statement in here. Below is an example of what I have submitted as a jurisdiction statement. You should consult your statutes, and rules of court for your particular jurisdiction. WARNING Jurisdiction can be a problem if the courts do not want to grant it. This particular portion is important to getting your cause heard.
Comes now the Plaintiff, Lee Allen Martin, and does request pursuant to RSMo 514.270 the retaxation of costs by the court in the case at hand. Plaintiff states that the Defendant is not entitled to cost not called for.

State your first argument here. Make your point short and simple. Tell exactly what the argument is. Then tell the point of law that you are relying upon to enforce your argument. Statutes, Court cases, and Rules of the court are good Points relied upon. Remember you are going to rework this so get something down and then refine, refine, refine. My example is below.
NO costs are itemized. Pursuant to Missouri Supreme Court Rule 84.18. The Court is to itemize the costs. Tillis V. City of Branson.

Now, you have done it once surely you can do it again. This is not a required field so if your pleading is standing on one argument you should scroll down to the prayer. If you are like me you have at least one more good argument. So get to writing.
Defendant Counsel is not entitled to mileage for the deposition as they were at their place of business per their own request.

Well 2 argument done. Time to do one more if you got it or go to the prayer.
The hotel bill for Mr. Kraus was not called for as Mr. Halcomb was in no need to spend the night away from home. The time set for deposition of 10:30 am was sufficient for all parties to travel.

good argument, do you have one more? Do it here.
Counsel meals are not provided at ones place of business.

This is the last area I have provided for arguments. If you have more you will have to load this document in your word processor.
Court Reporter is not entitled to fees as she refused to preform the duties.

This is your PRAYER (as if you got one). The prayer is a legal term tell the court what you want it to do. Please do not ask the court to do more than it has authority to do, but do not ask for less. You have a long hard battle in front of you and by the time you get to the end you will want cost and maybe some hide.
Wherefore, the cost are not called for as the cost for a hotel, mileage for two instead of one, meals is an ordinary expense the court reporter refused to take the deposition are not allowed. 610.027.5 calls for all actions brought pursuant to RSMo 610.010 to 610.029 to be on the part of the public governmental body. Plaintiff requests that court strike the defendant's Statement of Costs filed on July 1, 2002, or in the alternative amend the Statement of Costs to an applicable amount.

Respectfully Submitted,
