ORDER

Pursuant to this court’s order dated January 14, 2013, Logan Wells, the attorney
appointed to represent Kelly D. Barber in this case, has submitted an itemization of her
out-of-pocket expenses and an itemization of the time spent working on this case. The
court finds the itemizations to be reasonable. The court hereby orders that Ms. Wells be
fully reimbursed for her total disbursements in the amount of $1,327.64. Ms. Wells has
claimed $15,035.00 in attorney’s fees for her work in this case, and the court does not
dispute that amount but awards Ms. Wells $2,000.00. The total amount of $3,327.64
should be paid to Ms. Wells out of the insurance funds that will be awarded to Mr. Barber

in the divorce action between Mr. and Mrs. Barber currently pending in the Lexington
County Family Court.

This court understands that Naki Richardson-Bax has been

charged by the family court with drafting an order awarding Mr. Barber a portion of the
insurance proceeds. This court directs Ms. Richardson-Bax to see that Ms. Wells is paid
out of the money awarded to Mr. Barber.
The Clerk is directed to distribute this order to Ms. Richardson-Bax.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
