    Security for costs ordered because plaintiff conceded impecuniosity, pleadings were deficient, the claim lacked proportionality and strength on the material available, defendants would face substantial and likely protracted costs, and no persuasive evidence established that defendants caused the plaintiff's impecuniosity; $60,000 security is appropriate and the proceeding is stayed until provided.
