JOHN DOE I, ET AL.; Respondents and No. 19-453 CARGILL, INC., Petitioner V. JOHN DOE I, ET AL. Respondents MOTION TO TAX COST AWARD AND WAIVE COSTS FOR INDIGENT RESPONDENTS. On July 19, 2021, the Clerk of the Supreme Court awarded $8,694.14 in costs taxed to the Respondents, $8,394.14 for the preparation of the Joint Appendix and $300 in Clerk's costs. In doing so, the Clerk was likely not aware that Respondents John Does I-VI are subsistence farmers in Mali and are indigent and unable to pay such a large cost award. Respondents respectfully request that the Court issue an Order that these costs be waived on account of Respondents' indigency. Their situation is described in the Declaration of Terrence Collingsworth attached hereto (Collingsworth Declaration). It is well established in the vast majority of Circuits that indigency - or, more broadly, an inability to pay due to financial circumstance - is an important factor that may be considered in determining an award of costs pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 54
