ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs’ Motion to Reinstate Case and Enter Judgment
Based on ADR Settlement (ECF No. 22).
This action was stayed on May 2, 2013 to allow the parties to proceed to arbitration. A
Ruben Order was entered on June 5, 2014, after the Court was advised that the case had settled.
The motion now before the Court indicates that on March 27, 2014, the plaintiffs and
Defendants entered into a settlement agreement in which the defendants agreed to pay the
plaintiffs a total amount of $50,000 in $10,000 installments, with the final payment to be made on
July 31, 2014. The settlement agreement is attached to the motion. The motion further alleges
that Defendants failed to make the June and July payments totaling $20,000; that they are
accordingly in breach of the agreement; and that the plaintiffs are entitled to judgment against the
defendants in the amount of $20,000.
Defendants have not responded to the motion. However, their attorney, Elizabeth
Cheatham Bond, of Hawkins Parnell Thackston & Young has filed a Motion for Leave to
Withdraw as Counsel for the defendants. (ECF No. 23) The plaintiffs have filed a Response in
opposition to the motion to withdraw.
1

No response having been filed to the Motion to Reinstate and Enter Judgment, and defense
counsel not having been relieved, the Court grants the plaintiff’s motion. The case is reinstated
and the Clerk shall enter judgment on behalf of the plaintiffs against the defendants in the amount
of $20,000. The motion to withdraw as counsel is DENIED.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
