This matter comes before the Court upon notification from counsel for Darleen Lynn

17

Hughes that, contrary to the parties’ previous representation that the insurance proceeds and

18

registry funds at issue in this case had already been disbursed to the appropriate parties,1 Ms.

19

Hughes had not yet received the insurance proceeds according to the parties’ settlement

20

agreement. The Court subsequently confirmed with the Clerk of the Court that, indeed, the

21

insurance proceeds at issue in this case were still being held in the registry of the Court and had

22

not yet been disbursed to Darleen Lynn Hughes in accordance with the parties’ settlement

23

agreement.

The parties confirmed to the Court during the June 1, 2018 telephone status
conference, Dkt. 27, and again in their signed stipulated order of dismissal, Dkt. 26, that all
registry funds had already been disbursed to the appropriate parties. This representation was
not accurate.
