The Objections (Docket No. 220, 221) are OVERRULED;

2.

The R&R (Docket No. 218) is ADOPTED in its entirety; and

3.

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment (Docket No. 169) is GRANTED

IN PART and DENIED IN PART. Specifically, the Motion is GRANTED as to
Defendant Charpentier’s personal liability for contributions due and owing from

Defendant Charps Welding & Fabricating, Inc. to the Health & Welfare Fund, as set forth
in more detail in the R&R. In all other respects, the Motion is DENIED.
