JUDGMENT
Johnnie Lee Carter (“Plaintiff”) filed this pro se action pursuant to the False
Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3701 et seq., alleging that Defendants Chios Enterprises, L.L.C.
(captioned Subway Store #6319), Davision & Mound Petro, Inc. (captioned Subway Store
#41985), and Eastern Mini Mart, Inc. (captioned Subway Store #45476) conspired to
violate federal laws relating to the payment of taxes. On February 29, 2012, the Court
entered an Opinion and Order dismissing the claims against these defendants. Because
the Court concluded that Plaintiff filed his action in bad faith, the Court awarded these
defendants their reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 3730(d)(4),
in the amount of Twenty-Seven Thousand One Hundred Fifty-Seven Dollars ($27,157).
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED, that Chios Enterprises,

L.L.C., Davision & Mound Petro, Inc., and Eastern Mini Mart, Inc. shall recover from
Plaintiff Johnnie Lee Carter the amount of Twenty-Seven Thousand One Hundred
Fifty-Seven Dollars ($27,157).
