IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

WESTERN DIVISION 

AMERIFACTORS FINANCIAL GROUP, LLC PLAINTIFF 

v. No. 4:12-cv-202-DPM 

WINDSTREAM SUPPLY, LLC DEFENDANT/ 

THIRD PARTY PLAINTIFF 

v. 

HAL-TEC CONSTRUCTION, INC. THIRD PARTY DEFENDANT 

ORDER 

For the reasons stated on the record at the 5 May 2015 hearing, as 

supplemented, the Court makes the following rulings on the pending issues. 

1. Amerifactors is entitled to summary judgment on its breach-ofcontract claim in the amount of $61,182.89. No genuine issue of material fact 

exists in the record compiled before the Court vacated it's earlier Judgment, 

NQ 114. Daenen' s new affidavit simply comes too late and doesn't square with 

his earlier deposition testimony and the other undisputed facts of record. 

Amerifactors is entitled to pre-judgment interest at 6% since 31 July 2009. 

ARK. CODE ANN.§ 4-57-lOl(d). Amerifactors must file an interest calculation, 

including a per diem, by 12 May 2015. Amerifactors is not entitled to recover

any attorney's fees from Windstream. 

2. Windstream'smotionforadefaultjudgmentagainstHal-Tec,Ng 119, 

is granted as modified. Hal-Tee's default admits the pleaded facts. Those 

facts establish Windstream' s right to recover against Hal-Tee on the contract. 

Windstream is therefore entitled to judgment against Hal-Tee in the amount 

of Ameridactors' s full recovery. The Court rejects Windstream' s argument 

that Hal-Tee's default in this case is chargeable to Amerifactors, or somehow 

entitles Windstream to judgment against Amerifactors, which would result 

in a dogfall with no recovery for anyone. Windstream must file a short brief 

by 12 May 2015 explaining specifically why the contract entitles Windstream 

to attorney's fees from Hal-Tee, or why they should be awarded under ARK. 

CODE ANN.§ 16-22-308, in the circumstances presented. 

So Ordered.
