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 an Nineteenth Application for Interim
Compensation and Expense Reimbursement [Doc. 1165].
The Receiver moves the Court to approve payment to the Receiver for the reasonable and
necessary services he rendered between December 1 and December 31, 2013, in the amount of
$3,740.16, which represents $3,675.00 in fees and $65.16 in direct expenses. The Receiver
represents that as of December 31, 2013, the Receiver was in possession of $214,052.07, which
includes $47,302.74 maintained in a rental property account. [Doc. 1165 at 2].
With the instant request, the Receiver has submitted an Invoice of Services rendered in
December 2013, detailing the time spent on various tasks in furtherance of the duties established
by the Court. [Doc. 1165-1]. He has also submitted invoices for the same period, detailing the
out-of-pocket expenses the Receiver incurred in furtherance of these duties. [Doc. 1165-2]. The
Court has reviewed the invoices and finds that they are reasonable.
The Receiver’s Nineteenth Application was filed January 8, 2014, and his request and the
supporting invoices have been available for review to the parties. No party or interested person
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 may treat this failure to respond as acquiescence
to the relief sought. See E.D. Tenn. L.R. 7.2.
Accordingly, the Court finds that the Receiver’s Nineteenth Application [Doc. 1165] is
well-taken, and it is GRANTED. The Court finds the compensation and expenses requested by
the Receiver are REASONABLE, and they are APPROVED.
The Receiver SHALL
DISBURSE the $3,740.16 requested in the Nineteenth Application to himself as compensation
for services and reimbursement for expenses for the period from December 1, 2013, through
December 31, 2013.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
