ORDER AWARDING ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS PURSUANT TO C.R.S § 38-22-128
______________________________________________________________________________
Pursuant to the Findings, Conclusions and Order, entered on March 21, 2014, the
defendant filed a request for determination of attorney fees on April 15, 2014 [216]. The
plaintiff did not file a response. As ordered, counsel for defendant separated the request for fees
by identifying the charges for services from the filing of the complaint to the date of the order
granting partial summary judgment removing the mechanic’s lien, June 1, 2009, [48]. The
amount requested is $24,247.00 for fees and $541.65 for costs for a total of $24,788.65. These
are reasonable amounts and are recoverable under applicable state statute, C.R.S. § 38-22-128.
The defendant also seeks fees for defending the issue of a partnership on appeal and for
winding up the partnership. Those requests are denied.
It is ORDERED, that S&J Land Company, LLC is awarded attorney’s fees of $24,247.00
and costs of $541.65 for a total of $24,788.65 to be paid by the plaintiff Richard (Chance) Leoff.
