Ayala is proud to announce that it has obtained a final judgment enforcing a $130,000 settlement it obtained earlier this year with a Texas attorney involved in a 2-million-dollar Personal Protective Equipment scam. The judgment also awarded Ayalaโs client $1,750.00 in attorneyโs fees.
The case stemmed from a scheme whereby the defendants including conspired to induce Plaintiffs to invest two million dollars in a PPE scam.
The case was filed in the US Southern District of Florida, case # 1:21-cv-20975. Honorable judge Beth Bloom is the judge on the case.
As stated in the general magistrate report and recommendation:
โthe Sadick Defendants admitted that they had executed the Settlement Agreement and that the required settlement payment in the amount of $130,000.00 has not been made. Therefore, Plaintiff is entitled to enforce the Settlement Agreement. Additionally, the Settlement Agreement provides for prevailing party attorneyโs fees, as to which Plaintiff seeks to recover $1,750. Given the undisputed existence of the Settlement Agreement, the Sadick Defendantsโ non-payment, and the prevailing party fees provision, the undersigned RESPECTFULLY RECOMMENDS that Plaintiffโs Motion to Enforce be GRANTED and that Final Judgment in favor of Plaintiff and against the Sadick Defendants be ENTERED in the principal amount of $130,000.00, plus $1,750.00 in attorneyโs fees for a total judgment amount of $131,750.00.โ (Internal citations omitted).
