ORDER
RICHARD MILLS, U.S. District Judge:
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation
[Doc. No. 124] entered by United States Magistrate Judge Tom SchanzleHaskins on October 10, 2014. The Report and Recommendation concerns
the Citation to Discover Assets [Doc. No. 104] served on Judgment Debtor
and Defendant Jeffrey A. Parsons.
On April 8, 2014, a default judgment was entered against Parsons for
unpaid overtime wages and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. The total
amount of the Judgment [Doc. No. 103] is $12,328,811.36.

Upon considering the individual circumstances of Parsons, Judge
Schanzle-Haskins recommended that he be ordered to pay $5,155.00 per
month or 50% of Parsons’s actual monthly income, whichever is greater.
No party has objected to Judge Schanzle-Haskins’s Report and
Recommendation. After carefully considering the record in this case, the
Court will adopt the Report and Recommendation.
Ergo, the Court hereby ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation
[d/e 124] entered by United States Magistrate Judge Tom SchanzleHaskins.
Defendant Jeffrey A. Parsons is hereby ORDERED to pay the
Plaintiffs installment payments of $5,155.00 per month (50% of the
projected annual draw based upon the documents provided by Parsons), or
50% of Parsons’s actual monthly income, whichever is greater, with the first
payment due on December 31, 2014, and each subsequent payment due on
the last calendar day of each succeeding month; provided however, that if
the last calendar day of each succeeding month is a Saturday, Sunday or
federal holiday, the due date for that month shall be the last calendar day

2

of that month that is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday.
Upon considering the Defendant’s individual circumstances, the
Court concludes that Parsons can reasonably pay the amount ordered. If
circumstances change, either party may seek to modify the installment
payments pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2-1402(c)(2).
All payments shall be made payable to the named Plaintiffs Shannon
Lee and Connie Robinson, and Stephan Zouras LLP, as attorneys for the
Plaintiffs, and all payments are to be delivered to the law offices of Stephan
Zouras LLP, c/o James B. Zouras, 205 North Michigan Ave., Suite 2560,
Chicago, IL 60601. All payments shall be made by certified check and
mailed by 5:00 p.m. local time on the due date.
ENTER: December 3, 2014
FOR THE COURT:
