The memorandum is quite specific about costs, hours billed, travel expenses, expert witness expenses, and expenses caused by Malofiy's unprofessional conduct. Keep in mind this does not include costs incurred by Jimmy or Robert.

Sanction is coming from a Pennsylvania copyright case Malofiy lost against Usher. He repeated his bad behavior in California with Zeppelin. Kind of crazy guy, actually. Skidmore should have known better after Usher.

This is the first case that tests a new Supreme Court ruling that came down last month. The losing party in a copyright can be made to pay costs if the case was filed in a frivolous, unreasonable way, etc. The memorandum for costs is a scathing litany of Malofiy's misconduct.

This suit is being brought by Warner/Chappell to recover their costs. Jimmy and Robert are not part of this action, although they too spent a lot of money defending "Stairway". Wonder if they will also file against the Wolfe Trust.
