Description
The district court noted that Miles was on a "limited budget," but determined that payment of costs would not render Miles indigent because Miles was employed. Cf. Stanley v. Univ. of S. Cal., 178 F.3d 1069, 1079 (9th Cir. 1999) (concluding that the district court abused its discretion in awarding costs because plaintiff would have been rendered indigent). We cannot say that the district court here abused its discretion in concluding that costs are appropriate when Miles failed to provide the district court with evidence of any financial difficulties other than to say that he is earning $1,000 less per month than the salary he earned before termination. He similarly gave the district court no evidence that payment of costs in amount of $12,238.64 will render him indigent. The district court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that Miles did not overcome the presumption that costs should be granted to the prevailing party.
