ORDER denying as moot 356 Motion to Enforce; denying as moot 359 Motion for Release of Funds. Signed by District Judge Sharion Aycock on 12/11/2017. (dbm)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
ABERDEEN DIVISION
DAVID GARLAND ATWOOD, II
V.

PLAINTIFF
CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:12-CV-168-SA-DAS

MIKE CHENEY, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

The Court imposed sanctions against two parties in this case for failing to appear at
depositions. The sanctioned parties missed the deadline to pay the ordered funds. In response, the
Plaintiff filed a Motion to Enforce [356], and a Motion to Release Funds [359], that are now before
the Court, requesting that the Court hold the sanctioned parties in contempt, and requesting various
other relief. After the Court entered a notice that the sanctions were past due, the sanctioned parties
deposited the funds with the Clerk of Court as ordered, and the Clerk of Court then disbursed the
funds to the Plaintiff. Because the sanction funds have now been paid, the Plaintiff’s Motion to
Enforce [356] is MOOT, and is therefore DENIED, the Plaintiff’s Motion to Release Funds [359]
is also MOOT, and is therefore DENIED.
SO ORDERED, on this the 11th day of December, 2017.
