DEFENDANTS 

1. Notices, Doc. 150 & 152, appreciated. The Court appoints

Chris Rippy as sole trustee of the constructive trust recently imposed 

on Rebecca Kingman' s judgment/ settlement proceeds, with all the 

duties and powers imposed by Arkansas law. ARK. CODE ANN. 

§ 28-73-801 et seq. Rippy's proposed hourly rate is on the high side, but

reasonable in the tangled circumstances presented; he will be 

compensated at $275 per hour, plus reasonable expenses incurred, from 

the trust's assets. He must seek Court approval before making any 

payment or expenditure in excess of $2,500. And he must maintain his 

$185,000 surety bond. The Court authorizes Rippy to take all actions 

necessary and proper to consummate the settlement, resolve the 

various liens on the settlement proceeds, and conclude this litigation. 

2. Petition for attorneys' fees and expenses, Doc. 151, noted.

Any objections due by 19 May 2023. Response from the trustee due by 

the same date.
