IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

WESTERN DIVISION 

HUDSON ENTERPRISES, INC., 

dfb/a River Valley Marina 

v. No. 4:15-cv-12-DPM 

PLAINTIFF 

CERTAIN UNDERWRITERS AT LLOYD'S 

LONDON INSURANCE COMPANIES, Subscribing 

to Policy #10NCG01559 and Agreement Numbers 

NPPI1011456 and NPPI09112456 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.).
