Case Number: SC125173    Hearing Date: September 10, 2020    Dept: O

Case Name: Modjeski v. Athletic Gaines, LLC, et al.

Case No.: SC125173

Hearing: 9-10-20

Calendar #: 5

Notice: OK

Complaint Filed: 12/22/15

Motion C/O: None

Discovery C/O: None

Trial Date: None

______________________________________________________________________________

SUBJECT: MOTION TO ENFORCE SETTLEMENT

MOVING PARTY: Plaintiffs John Modjeski, et al.

RESP. PARTY: None as of 7-1-20

TENTATIVE RULING

Plaintiffs’ Motion to Enforce Settlement Agreement is GRANTED. The Court orders judgment to be entered in the form of the Stipulated Judgment apparently attached as Ex. A to the 8-14-19 Settlement Agreement in the principal amount of $850,000 plus attorney’s fees and costs in the amount of $3,490. Plaintiff is to submit the proposed judgment.

Plaintiffs and Defendant Travelle Gaines entered into a settlement agreement on 8-14-19. See Dec. of C. Albut, Ex. A. The settlement agreement required Gaines to make payments in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section III(A)(1). Id. at Ex. A, p. 2, Sec. III(A)(1). In exchange, Plaintiffs would file a dismissal of the entire action with 5 court days following receipt of the final Settlement Payment or after a Court order reserving jurisdiction to enforce the settlement is entered, whichever event occurs first. Id. at Ex. A, p. 4, Sec. III(B). In the parties’ emails, Gaines denied ever having signed the agreement. See Dec. of C. Albut, Ex. C. However, Gaines’ signature appears on the agreement. Id. at p. 7. Gaines never made a required payment. See Dec. of C. Albut, ¶5. Plaintiffs informed Gaines of his default multiple times and granted him the requisite 7-day period to cure. Id. at ¶¶5-20. Gaines never cured the default.

In his opposition, Defendant Travelle Gaines argues there is no enforceable agreement against him.  He admits he signed the agreement.  But claims he did not “fully accept the offer because he failed to perform on the terms stated Mr. Kiamilev.” Gaines further argues that he “withdrew his partial acceptance” before he “was provided notice of the plaintiff’s acceptance.  The Court rejects both claims.  The Court finds the agreement was fully executed and enforceable regardless of Gaines failure to pay the first installment due. Likewise, the Court finds Gaines has failed to show he withdrew or otherwise revoked his acceptance prior to receiving notice of the plaintiff’s signed acceptance of the agreement. 

Case Number: SC125173    Hearing Date: July 07, 2020    Dept: O

Case Name: Modjeski v. Athletic Gaines, LLC, et al. 
Case No.: SC125173
Hearing: 7-7-20
Calendar #: 5
Notice: OK 
Complaint Filed:    12/22/15
Motion C/O: None
Discovery C/O: None
Trial Date: None 
______________________________________________________________________________
SUBJECT: MOTION TO ENFORCE SETTLEMENT 
MOVING PARTY: Plaintiffs John Modjeski, et al.
RESP. PARTY: None as of 7-1-20
TENTATIVE RULING
Plaintiffs’ Motion to Enforce Settlement Agreement is GRANTED.  The Court orders judgment to be entered in the form of the Stipulated Judgment apparently attached as Ex. A to the 8-14-19 Settlement Agreement in the principal amount of $850,000 plus attorney’s fees and costs in the amount of $2,090.  Plaintiff is to submit the proposed judgment.
“If parties to pending litigation stipulate, in a writing signed by the parties outside the presence of the court or orally before the court, for settlement of the case, or part thereof, the court, upon motion, may enter judgment pursuant to the terms of the settlement. If requested by the parties, the court may retain jurisdiction over the parties to enforce the settlement until performance in full of the terms of the settlement.”  CCP §664.6.
Plaintiffs and Defendant Travelle Gaines entered into a settlement agreement on 8-14-19.  See Dec. of C. Albut, Ex. A.  The settlement agreement required Gaines to make payments in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section III(A)(1).  Id. at Ex. A, p. 2, Sec. III(A)(1).  In exchange, Plaintiffs would file a dismissal of the entire action with 5 court days following receipt of the final Settlement Payment or after a Court order reserving jurisdiction to enforce the settlement is entered, whichever event occurs first.  Id. at Ex. A, p. 4, Sec. III(B).  In the parties’ emails, Gaines denied ever having signed the agreement.  See Dec. of C. Albut, Ex. C.  However, Gaines’ signature appears on the agreement.  Id. at p. 7.  Gaines never made a required payment.  See Dec. of C. Albut, ¶5.  Plaintiffs informed Gaines of his default multiple times and granted him the requisite 7-day period to cure.  Id. at ¶¶5-20.  Gaines never cured the default.
Plaintiffs never dismissed this action. The action is pending and the Court still has jurisdiction to enter the Stipulated Judgment required under the 8-14-19 settlement agreement.  Parties agreed that in the event of Defendant’s default, Plaintiffs would file the Stipulated Judgment attached as Exhibit A to the 8-14-19 settlement agreement after notice to Defendant.  Id. at Ex. A, p. 3, Sec. III(A)(4)(4.3).  Defendant never made any payments and judgment should be entered in the amount of $850,000, the full amount of the settlement.
In addition, Plaintiffs are entitled to an award of attorney’s fees as prevailing parties.  See Dec. of C. Albut, Ex. A, Sec. III(Q).  Plaintiffs request fees in the amount of $2,090 (5.8 hours @ $350/hr plus $60 filing fees).  No opposition was filed.
