UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

----oo0oo----

JAMES C. BROCK,

NO. CIV. S-02-2762 FCD PAN

Plaintiff,

v. MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

CARRION, LTD., et al.,

Defendants.

----oo0oo----

The matter is before the court on plaintiff’s motion to

enforce the settlement agreement entered on the record with

defendants on October 17, 2005 and later supplemented by a

written agreement between the parties. (Ex. B to Stralen Decl., 1

filed Nov. 22, 2005.) Plaintiff filed the instant motion,

pursuant to an order shortening time, on November 23, 2005

because defendants had not paid the initial settlement payment of

$100,000.00, due November 10, 2005. Said payment was made,

however, on November 30, 2005. Plaintiff, nonetheless, seeks by

this motion, under the terms of the parties’ written agreement,

interest due for the late payment and attorneys’ fees of

$3,960.00 incurred in bringing the motion. 

In response to the motion, defendants’ counsel acknowledges

that the settlement payment was late but explains that the delay

was “due to [her] husband taking ill and being hospitalized, as

well as [her] clients’ difficulty in obtaining the settlement

funds from an escrow account.” (Hambleton Decl., filed December

5, 2005, ¶ 3.) Based on counsel’s representations, the court

DENIES without prejudice plaintiff’s motion. The final payment

of $140,000.00 is due on or before December 13, 2005. Should

defendants again fail to make timely payment, plaintiff may renew

this motion and seek, pursuant to the settlement agreement,

interest accruing since the original payment due date of

November 10 and attorneys’ fees incurred in bring this motion as

well as any subsequent motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 6, 2005
