Narrative:
Wile taxiing into the ramp the captain accidentally grabbed both start levers and moved them to cutoff. We stopped the airplane on the ramp; advised the flight attendants to remain seated; started the APU; then started the #1 engine to resume taxi to the gate. Even though I am the pilot monitoring; since it was the last flight of a 2 hour late day; I should pay closer attention to everything the PF is doing. Wasn't paying close attention to what captain was doing.
