No.: 1:07-CV-01182-OWW-GSA

The parties thereafter reached a settlement agreement and, pursuant to that agreement, 

this action was dismissed on May 21, 2008 (Docket #35). Plaintiffs, through their undersigned 

counsel, now respectfully request the return of the $10,000 on deposit to Plaintiffs, through their 

undersigned counsel. Return of the funds is appropriate at this time because there no longer is an 

obligation of Plaintiffs to be secured by the deposit and the dispute between the parties that was 

the subject of this action has been settled and the case dismissed. 

WHEREFORE Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court exonerate the $10,000 in 

funds deposited with the Court in this matter and direct the Clerk to disburse those funds to 

Holland & Knight LLP so that Holland & Knight LLP can then remit these funds to Plaintiffs. 

January 15, 2010 Respectfully submitted, 

 HOLLAND & KNIGHT LLP
