On Friday, August 9, 2024, Judge David Freeman entered judgment for MJ Management against the plaintiffs and their counsel on an unpaid order for attorney’s fees and costs that had been previously entered in June 2024 but remained unpaid. Following a hearing on the issue, the court entered a judgment in the amount of $24,634.50. The underlying basis for the award of fees related to MJ Management being the prevailing party in a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and Preliminary Injunctive Relief. At the hearing the court denied plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration they had previously filed in response to the order to pay MJ Management’s attorney fees. Plaintiff’s counsel indicated that they intend to appeal.

Earlier, Defendant, 18 Paradise sought entry of judgment for the court’s orders awarding 18 Paradise its attorney fees in the amount of $17,816.50 related to the same motions seeking injunctive relief against plaintiffs and their counsel.

The parties continue to wait for the court to issue its final findings and order addressing the court’s final decisions on the case, following a two-week trial in May 2024.
