SPECIAL MASTER’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

REGARDING ENTRY OF JUDGMENT

Plaintiff Red River Resources, Inc. (“Red River”), Defendant Collazo and 

Counterclaim-Defendants Red River and Karl Eller have reached a settlement but are 

unable to reach agreement as to the form of Judgment. The Special Master and the 

parties have spent considerable time seeking to reach such an agreement, but are unable

to do so. The parties and their counsel have, at all times, worked cooperatively and in 

good faith. 

Case 2:11-cv-02589-HRH Document 214 Filed 09/19/13 Page 1 of 2

One of the parties has requested that the issues related to the form of judgment be 

heard ab initio by Your Honor. The Special Master’s reading of his authority as 

reflected in the Order of Appointment (Docket No. 183), thus precludes a 

recommendation on the related issues.1 Regrettably, even a recommended briefing 

schedule becomes intertwined with the parties’ positions on the merits, given the 

interplay with the Bankruptcy Court. 

For these reasons, the Special Master’s recommendation is that the parties submit

to the Court by Friday September 27, 2013, the following:

1) A form of judgment acceptable to that party;

2) Any motions which the party considers to relate to the entry of judgment; and

3) A proposed briefing schedule for any motions filed by that party or, if a party 

has not filed any motions, a proposed briefing schedule for any motions expected 

to be filed by the opposing party.

After receiving these documents, this Court will be in a position to resolve the issues 

before it on a timetable it determines to be appropriate. The Special Master will continue 

to be available pursuant to the Order of Appointment as needed by the Court or requested 

by the parties.

Dated: September 19, 2013 /s/ Daniel A. Barker

1 This issue is not a discovery matter. In those instances, the Order of Appointment authorizes the Special 

Master to perform the following: “Perform duties consented to by the parties . . . Make recommendations 

for pre-trial management or other actions that may expedite this matter, make it more economical for the 

parties, or otherwise enhance the administration of justice in this matter.” (Docket No. 183, ¶ 5 (a) and (d). 

Given the lack of agreement under 5 (a), the Special Master is not of the opinion that 5 (d) is satisfied with 

regard to this particular issue.
