DEFENDANT
ORDER
Motion, Ng 60, denied. The equities overcome the presumption of
awarding costs. Concord Boat Corporation v. Brunswick Corporation, 309 F.3d
494, 498 (8th Cir. 2002). Hudson Enterprises, a small family business, is broke.
The under-seal financial affidavit shows more money going out than coming
in and only modest unencumbered assets. Ng 72. Though not a natural
person, Hudson Enterprises is entitled to the Court's evaluation of its finances
in considering whether to tax these expenses. And the Underwriters haven't
suggested that they'll stumble financially if made to pay their own costs. The
Court therefore declines to award any. Poe v. John Deere Company, 695 F.2d
1103, 1108 (8th Cir. 1982) (Arnold, J.).
So Ordered.
