State of Minnesota v. Cree Rae Larson
Opinion
OFFICE OF
STATE OF MINNESOTA APPELLATE COURTS
IN SUPREME COURT AUG 1 9 2015
A14-0128 FILED
State of Minnesota,
Appellant,
vs.
Cree Rae Larson,
Respondent.
ORDER
Respondent filed a motion for attorney fees and costs for the time respondent's
counsel spent and the expenses incurred in preparing his brief. See Minn. R. Crim. P.
29.04, subd. 10(3) ("Reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred must be allowed to the
defendant on an appeal to the Supreme Court by the prosecutor in a case originally
appealed by the prosecutor to the Court of Appeals ...."). In an order filed on December
22, 2014, we deferred ruling on respondent's motion, explaining that we could not assess
the reasonableness of the attorney fees request on the current record, given the unique facts
of this case. We ordered respondent's counsel to provide us with additional information
related to his attorney fees request by January 5, 2015. Respondent has not provided the
additional infonnation requested by the court.
Based upon all the files, records, and proceedings herein,
1
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Respondent Cree Rae Larson's motion for an award of attorney fees and
costs is granted in part and denied in part. The motion is denied with respect to the request
for an award of attorney fees but is granted with respect to the request for an award of
costs.
2. The City of Minneapolis shall pay respondent's counsel $66.08 in out-of-
pocket costs.
Dated: August 19,2015
