MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This case is before the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Rules of this Court,
and Standing Order 13-02.

The Receiver has filed a Sixteenth Application for Interim

Compensation and Expense Reimbursement [Doc. 1064].
The Receiver moves the Court to approve payment to the Receiver for the reasonable and
necessary services he rendered between September 1, 2013 and September 30, 2013 in the
amount of $4,263.13, representing $4,200.00 in fees and $63.16 in direct expenses. He also
requests that the Court approve the disbursement of $350.80 to Bunnell & Woulfe, P.A., for
services rendered in relation to the West Palm Beach condominium.
The Receiver represents that as of September 30, 2013, the Receivership account
contained $102,523.11, [Doc. 1064 at 3].
With the instant request, the Receiver has submitted an Invoice of Services rendered in
September 2013, detailing the time spent on various tasks in furtherance of the duties established
by the Court. [Doc. 1064-1]. He has also submitted invoices for the same period, detailing the
out-of-pocket expenses the Receiver has incurred in furtherance of these duties. [Doc. 1064-2].

He has also included a copy of Invoice No. 355875 from Bunnell & Woulfe, P.A., [Doc. 10643].
The Receiver’s Sixteenth Application was filed October 15, 2013, and his request and its
supporting invoices have been available for review to the parties. No party or interested person
or entity has objected to the compensation and expenses submitted. The time for doing so has
expired. See, generally, E.D. Tenn. L.R. 7.1.
The Court finds that the compensation and expenses requested are reasonable, and they
are APPROVED. The Receiver SHALL DISBURSE the $4,263.16 requested in the Sixteenth
Application to himself as compensation for services and reimbursement for expenses and
SHALL DISBURSE $350.80 to pay Invoice No. 355875 for professional services rendered by
Bunnell & Woulfe, P.A.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
