As reflected in the Court's electronic docket, on the same date the case was designated as "closed." CHIC_4606309.1 3. In its Motion for Summary Judgment, Fannie Mae prayed for a judgment of not less than $2,045,827.00, plus pre- and post-judgment interest, and attached an Affidavit from George Trippe, Fannie Mae's Director of Asset Management, establishing that Fannie Mae is entitled to this amount under the Guaranty Agreement executed by the Defendants and the loan documents. (Dkt. # 30.) 4. This Court's October 5, 2009, order did not specify the amount of damages that was being ordered, and was therefore not a final order. Jinwoong v. Jinwoong, 310 F.3d 962, 964 (7th Cir. 2002). 5. In order that Fannie Mae may register and enforce this Court's judgment, it must be reduced to a dollar amount. 6. Attached as Exhibit A is the Affidavit of George Trippe, Director of Asset Management for Fannie Mae, establishing the amounts that the Defendants owed Fannie Mae as of June 1, 2009, along with the per diem interest accruing on the loan. This Affidavit was originally attached as an exhibit to Fannie Mae's Motion for Summary Judgment. (See Dkt. # 30-4.) 7. As of October 5, 2009, the Defendants owed Fannie Mae $2,236,172.80, plus post-judgment interest at the statutory rate. This amount consists of the total amount owed to Fannie Mae as of June 12, 2009, as shown in Exhibit A, plus per diem interest at the rate of $1,669.70 from June 13, 2009, through October 5, 2009 (114 days multiplied by $1,669.70 equals $190,345.80).
