IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
PENSACOLA DIVISION
STEPHEN BARDFIELD
and CHARLES CARVER,
Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No. 3:09cv232/MCR/EMT

CHISHOLM PROPERTIES CIRCUIT
EVENTS, LLC, and JOHNNY
CHISHOLM, individually,
Defendants.
_______________________________/

ORDER
Pending before the court is the motion of Plaintiffs Stephen Bardfield and Charles
Carver for disbursement of the balance of funds held in the court’s registry. (Doc. 120.)
On June 12, 2009, the court entered a preliminary injunction, after previously granting an
emergency temporary restraining order, and Plaintiffs complied with the court’s order to
post a security bond with the Clerk of Court in the amount of $200,000. (See Doc. 15.)
On April 26, 2010, this court ordered the release from the court’s registry of $180,000 of
the security bond, leaving a balance of $20,000. (Doc. 85.) On March 31, 2011, the
parties entered into a stipulation for a consent final judgment and permanent injunction
(doc. 115), and the court thereafter entered a consent final judgment and permanent
injunction in favor of Plaintiffs (docs. 118, 119).
The security bond is no longer necessary and Plaintiffs request that the remaining
amount be released from the court’s registry. The court finds that this relief is appropriate
and the motion is due to be granted.
Accordingly, it is now ORDERED as follows:
1.

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Disbursement of Funds from the Court’s Registry (doc.

120) is GRANTED.
2.

The Clerk of Court is directed to release from the court’s registry the balance

of the security bond in the amount of $20,000 plus any interest accrued on that amount,
to Plaintiffs’ counsel, Scott Lieberman, of the firm Scott Lieberman, P.A., at 7390 N.W. 5th
Street, Suite 10, Plantation, FL 33317.
DONE and ORDERED on this 2nd day of June, 2011.
