Case No. 4:11-cv-00578-KGB
COSTNER EXCAVATING, INC., et al.
DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Before the Court is plaintiffs’ motion to enforce settlement agreement (Dkt. No. 175).
Based on the record and a hearing before the Court on this date, plaintiffs’ motion is granted.
Defendants breached the settlement agreement by failing to pay the final installment of
settlement funds agreed upon by the parties in the amount of $200,000.00 due and owing to
plaintiffs on January 31, 2015. Defendants still have not performed this obligation and present
no valid defense to their breach of the settlement agreement. The Court grants plaintiffs’
requests to enter a judgment in the amount of $200,000.00 and to award prejudgment interest.
Judgment will be entered separately.
The Court takes under advisement plaintiffs’ request for attorney’s fees, costs, and
expenses. Plaintiffs may submit further briefing on this request.
By agreement of counsel for the parties, this Court retains jurisdiction for an additional
60 days, to and including April 29, 2015, to enforce this Judgment; consider any motions for
attorney’s fees, costs, and other expenses; and reopen this action if it is satisfactorily shown that
resolution has not been completed and further litigation or Court action is necessary.
SO ORDERED this 18th day of February, 2015.
