CIVIL ACTION NO.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

The Eleventh Circuit has instructed this court to rule upon

the post-judgment motion filed by defendants pursuant to Rule 59,

F.R.Civ.P. after defendants’ first notice of appeal had been filed.

Upon consideration of defendants’ motion, the court now agrees

with defendant, Jean Claude Ferrarin, that he could not have been

found individually liable for the failure of defendant, Eurisol

(the only contracting party), to pay for goods that Eurisol had

ordered from plaintiff, Sloss Industries Corporation. There was no

contract with Ferrarin proven and no viable alternative theory.

The fact that Ferrarin allowed a default to be entered against him

did not preclude his right to seek post-judgment relief when there

was no actual or theoretical basis upon which he could have been

found personally liable.

Eurisol has presented nothing upon which the judgment against

it should be set aside.

An appropriate separate order will be entered.
