This is a routine post-judgment costs ruling with no material financial impact. The $425 million final judgment is the only consequential event; monitor any appeal by Google of the underlying verdict.

Executive Summary
A federal judge denied Google's motion to strike the plaintiffs' bill of costs following a $425 million jury verdict against Google in a privacy class action. The ruling is a minor procedural loss for Google — it confirms that plaintiffs are entitled to $152,654 in litigation costs — but does not change the underlying judgment or create new financial exposure. The $425 million final judgment was already entered and is the material event; this order is a routine post-judgment cost determination.
Court Ruling Details
Key Facts
- Jury found Google liable on two privacy claims and final judgment of $425 million was entered against Google.
- Google moved to strike plaintiffs' bill of costs ($152,654), arguing mixed results and small fraction of damages sought.
- Court denied the motion, ruling plaintiffs are the prevailing party and entitled to costs under Rule 54(d)(1).
- The $152,654 in costs is trivial relative to Google's market cap (approximately 0.00001%).
Financial Impact
Costs of $152,654 awarded to plaintiffs — immaterial relative to Google's market capitalization.
Risk Factors
