ORDER RE STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF JUDGMENT

STEPHEN V. WILSON, District Judge.

Having read and considered the Stipulation of Undisputed Facts and for Entry of Judgment ("Agreement and Stipulation") entered into by and between Plaintiff QUEBEC DISTRIBUTING CO., ("Plaintiff" or "Quebec"), and Defendant JOSE (JOE) L. CARDENAS ("Cardenas" or "Defendant") (Quebec and Cardenas are sometimes referred to herein collectively as "the Parties"), and all other pleadings and papers contained in the Court's file in this matter, and good cause appearing therefor,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Agreement and Stipulation is approved in its entirety.

IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the following facts are hereby adopted by this Court as Findings of Fact:

1. Plaintiff is, and during all times mentioned herein has been, a corporation organized and operating under the laws of the State of California.

2. Plaintiff is, and during all times mentioned herein has been, duly licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, operating under Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act ("PACA") license number 20060865.

3. The Defendant was and during all times mentioned herein doing business under the laws of the State of California and was the controlling officer and director of UNIQUE PRODUCE CORP. ("Unique"), a company that is no longer operating.

4. A PACA reparation award was issued in favor of Plaintiff and against Unique on June 5, 2015 in the amount of $8,190.00, plus $500.00 in filing fees, plus interest at the rate of 0.26% per annum from April 1, 2014 until paid, based on unpaid produce sales made by Plaintiff to Unique.

5. The total compromised settlement amount due under this Agreement and Stipulation is $6,500.00, all of which qualifies for protection under the trust provisions of PACA [7 U.S.C. § 499e et seq.].

IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the foregoing Findings of Fact are binding upon the Parties hereto for all purposes but shall not be relied upon by any person not a party to this agreement for any purpose whatsoever.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant GERARD A. CORROS is hereby dismissed with prejudice.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that upon entry of this Order, the only remaining defendant, Cardenas, and the Complaint in the above-captioned matter, may be dismissed, without prejudice, subject to re-opening in the event of default for the limited purposes of interpreting and enforcing the Agreement and Stipulation and entering and enforcing Judgment thereon. Also, once Defendant Cardenas makes all required payments hereunder, Plaintiff agrees to reopen the case for the sole purpose of requesting that the dismissal of Cardenas be converted from a dismissal without prejudice to a dismissal with prejudice.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter herein in order to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Agreement and Stipulation and to enter and enforce judgment thereon.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
