• noting that courts may refuse to 17 || award costs under 41(d) where plaintiff offers a “good reason for the dismissal of the prior 18 || action or [where] the plaintiff is financially unable to pay the costs”
• awarding costs but giving the parties an opportunity to agree on what constituted “reasonable costs”
• finding the complaint deficient under Rule 9(b) because “it merely specifies the approximate year in all but one instance, in which it specifies the approximate month”
• plaintiff’s allegation that defendant never intended to perform may satisfy the scienter pleading requirements as long as the allegation is plausible under the circumstances
• “New York law clearly requires unconscionable injury for a court to enforce a promise under the doctrine of promissory estoppel that would otherwise be barred by the statute of frauds.”
