Memorandum of Opinion

and Order

The court has considered plaintiff’s objection to the June 

4, 2007 order and holds that his argument does not justify a 

reversal of the court’s decision regarding the settlement 

agreement. After considering the declaration of William P. 

Torngren, the parties’ mediator, the court finds that the 

parties reached a meeting of the minds on the agreement’s terms, 

under which plaintiff would accept a voluntary collection. 

Therefore, the court:
