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,

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
