About this document

Dattner v. Conagra Foods Appeal Summary by Scribd Government Docs is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes a United States Court of Appeals case from 2006 regarding an award of costs to defendants after obtaining a forum non conveniens dismissal. The court held that a defendant who receives a forum non conveniens dismissal is not a "prevailing party" entitled to costs under Rule 54(d) because such a dismissal does not result in a judicially sanctioned change in the legal relationship of the parties. Therefore, the court vacated the cost award and remanded the case to the district court.
