ORDER
On March 5, 2018, the parties filed a stipulation for entry of judgment in the above
captioned case. The stipulation indicated that “[o]n August 16, 2017, the Liquidator filed
the complaint in this Court seeking damages under Section 1341 of the ACA (the ‘Section
1341 Case’),” and “[t]he Parties subsequently entered into negotiations to resolve
amicably the Liquidator’s claims in the Section 1341 Case. The Liquidator offered to settle
the Section 1341 Case in exchange for payment by the United States in the amount of
$16,200,000.00, inclusive of interest, with each party to bear its own costs, attorneys’
fees, and expenses.” After the settlement offer, “[o]n February 28, 2018, the United
States accepted the Liquidator’s offer,” and “[a]ccordingly, the Parties, having settled the
claims at issue in the Section 1341 Case pursuant to the terms set forth in this Stipulation,
jointly request that the Court enter judgment in the amount of $16,200,000.00 (the
‘Stipulated Amount’) in favor of KYHC and the Liquidator.” Consistent with the parties’
joint stipulation, the Clerk of the Court shall enter JUDGMENT in the above-captioned
case in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $16,200,000.00.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
