This matter comes before the court on defendant Linda Thursfield’s

heard oral argument on the motion on October 4, 2018. For the reasons

court’s order requiring him to “pay all future funds as they are received. . . .”
(ECF No. 43) This payment shall be made forthwith. The court takes

defendant’s requests for her attorney’s fees, to find the receiver in
contempt and for removal of the receiver under advisement and will rule on
such requests if it becomes necessary.
Now, therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant Linda Thursfield’s
emergency motion for release of funds from receiver is GRANTED.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that defendant’s requests for
her attorney’s fees, to hold receiver in contempt and to remove receiver are
taken under advisement.
So ordered.
