August 15, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 280 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER - The Court finds the plaintiff has overcome any presumption in favor of taxation of costs. The plaintiff has shown there is a significant financial disparity and the plaintiff is without ability to pay. Based on its familia rity with the case, the Court finds the plaintiff pursued her action in good faith on complex and evolving legal issues. Insofar as the costs were incurred largely as a result of defendant's conduct, the Court finds an award of costs to the defendants as prevailing parties would be inequitable under the circumstances. Accordingly, in its discretion, the Court finds the clerk's taxation of costs should be reversed. Ordered by Senior Judge Joseph F. Bataillon. (MKR)
