PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR: (1) ENTRY OF JUDGMENT ON COUNTS III AND IV, AND (2) VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL OF COUNTS V AND VI OF THE COMPLAINT

NOW COME Plaintiffs, ARHC CHSGDIL01, LLC; ARHC CHPTNIL01, LLC; ARHC HHPEOIL01, LLC; ARHC MTMTNIL01, LLC; ARHC MVMTNIL01, LLC; and ARHC RHMARIL01, LLC (collectively the "Landlord" or "Plaintiffs"), and respectfully move this Court for entry of judgment on Counts III and IV of the Complaint filed herein (Dkt. 1) and for voluntary dismissal of Counts V and VI of the Complaint. Given the effect of prior Orders of this Court, entry of the relief sought herein will dispose of all of the Counts of the Complaint, and the only matter remaining under this Court's jurisdiction will be the consideration of the final report and discharge of the Receiver (defined below). In support of this Motion, Plaintiffs state as follows:

1. Plaintiffs filed the Complaint initiating this action on September 26, 2016.

2. The parties agreed to the appointment of a receiver, and on November 1, 2016, this Court entered a Consensual Order Appointing Receiver (the "Receiver Order"), appointing Suzanne A. Koenig as receiver ("Receiver") to take possession and control of all six skilled nursing facilities (the "Facilities") that the Defendants previously leased and operated. (Dkt. 28.) Subject to the Court's consideration of the Receiver's final report and the discharge of the Receiver, described below, the entry of the Receiver Order fully resolved Count II (Appointment of Receiver) of the Complaint.

3. The parties agreed to the transition of the Facilities to new tenants, and on December 1, 2017, this Court entered an Agreed Order Terminating Receiver's Possession and Control and Setting Dates for Final Report and Discharge (the "Transition Order") (Dkt. 94.) The entry of the Transition Order fully resolved Counts I (Forcible Entry and Detainer) and VII (Ejectment) of the Complaint.

4. On June 2, 2017, Defendants offered judgment to Plaintiffs in the amount of $3,789,340.34, inclusive of costs and attorneys' fees, pursuant to the Offer of Judgment attached hereto as Exhibit 1. As has been previously reported to the Court, the Plaintiffs are amenable to entry of judgment in that amount and on those terms. Entry of that judgment will fully resolve Counts III (Breach of Lease) and IV (Breach of Guaranty) of the Complaint.

5. Plaintiffs are in the process of conducting a non-judicial sale of their collateral under the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code, which they expect to complete before January 15, 2018. The conduct of that sale will moot the relief sought in Count VI (Judicial Foreclosure of Security Interest) of the Complaint, and Plaintiffs are willing to dismiss that Count without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, with each party to bear its own attorneys' fees and costs.

6. In connection with the entry of the relief sought above, Plaintiffs are willing to dismiss Count V (Accounting) of the Complaint without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, with each party to bear its own attorneys' fees and costs.

7. In paragraph 16 of the Transition Order, this Court ordered that the Receiver file her final report on or before January 22, 2018, after consideration and approval of which Plaintiffs anticipate that this Court will discharge the Receiver on such terms as this Court orders.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request that the Court enter an Order embodying the foregoing terms and grant any additional relief the Court deems just.
