Jason Hicks is to be bound by the default judgment entered against Christopher A. Dikes

2

on March 22, 2018. Specifically, because this Court has already entered Judgment against Dikes

3

declaring that UFCC owes no defense or indemnity obligation in regard to claims by Hicks, Hicks

4

is bound by that Judgment. To the extent that Hicks secures a judgment, award, or some other

5

relief against Dikes for claim number 17-2015809 or any related claims made arising from the

6

automobile accident occurring on November 12, 2016, Hicks is not entitled to any recovery

7

against the proceeds of the Dikes policy.
