17.

Westwood Professional Services, Inc. may recover its costs from Plaintiffs.

18.

SR Lumpkin, LLC shall not recover its costs from Plaintiffs. Although SR

Lumpkin, LLC is technically a prevailing party in this action, it does not appear to the

Case 4:21-cv-00134-CDL Document 286 Filed 05/03/23 Page 3 of 3

Court that SR Lumpkin, LLC incurred any independent costs to defend this action. Rather,
SR Lumpkin, LLC joined every filing made by Silicon Ranch Corporation and jointly
participated in discovery with Silicon Ranch Corporation. Based on the Court’s review of
the docket and its knowledge of this action, most of the joint Silicon Ranch Corporation/SR
Lumpkin, LLC discovery and filings focused on issues related to Silicon Ranch
Corporation. To allow SR Lumpkin, LLC to recover its costs under these circumstances
could undermine the Plaintiffs’ recovery of costs against Silicon Ranch Corporation. For
all these reasons, SR Lumpkin, LLC shall not recover its costs from Plaintiffs.
This 3rd day of May, 2023.
