TIMOTHY D. DeGIUSTI, District Judge.
Before the Court is Cross-claim Plaintiff Shamberg, Johnson & Bergman, Chtd.'s (SJB) Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. No. 20]. Cross-claim Defendant Eric Brown (Brown), appearing pro se, has filed his response in opposition [Doc. No. 21], and the matter is fully briefed and at issue. Since Brown is a pro se litigant, the Court construes his response liberally. See Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520-21 (1972); Hall v. Bellmon, 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 (10th Cir.1991). However, the Court cannot act as Brown's advocate, nor can it "supply additional factual allegations to. . . construct a legal theory on [his] behalf." Whitney v. New Mexico, 113 F.3d 1170, 1173-74 (10th Cir.1997) (citing Hall, 935 F.2d at 1110). Further, pro se litigants must follow the same procedural rules that govern other litigants. Kay v. Bemis, 500 F.3d 1214, 1218 (10th Cir. 2007).
The following facts are undisputed or, where sufficiently controverted, are stated in the light most favorable to Brown. Scott v. Harris, 550 U.S. 372, 378 (2007). Brown retained SJB to represent him in an action against USA Truck, Inc. to recover damages suffered from a motor vehicle accident. Brown signed a three-page Employment Agreement with SJB, which set forth the terms of the representation. With respect to SJB's attorney's fees and expenses, the agreement stated in relevant part:
(Emphasis added). The agreement is dated November 10, 2009, although, from the parties' submissions, this date is incorrect. At the bottom right-hand corner of each page is a space for the signatories' initials, which were left blank.
After a bench trial, the Court entered judgment against USA Truck in favor of Brown in the amount of $57,489.07. With prejudgment interest and costs, the judgment totaled $81,578.43. The litigation expenses incurred by SJB in prosecuting Brown's case total $137,191.57. USA Truck filed this interpleader action, in which it was permitted to pay the judgment into the registry of the Court. Afterward, it was dismissed as a party.
Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, SJB contends it is entitled to the entire amount of the judgment. Brown's argument, liberally construed, contends the agreement is not enforceable due to the fact that (1) the date is incorrect and (2) the pages are not initialed. Brown also contends that, in light of the foregoing error, the parties envisioned executing another contract. With modifications for grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors, Brown's response, in relevant part, states the following:
Correspondence from Eric Brown dated February 2, 2016 [Doc. No. 21].
"Summary judgment is proper if, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party, there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Bonidy v. U.S. Postal Service, 790 F.3d 1121, 1124 (10th Cir. 2015) (citation omitted). A movant may establish that a fact cannot be genuinely disputed by citing to particular parts of depositions, documents, electronically stored information, affidavits, declarations, stipulations, discovery responses, or other materials. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c)(1)(A). Once the moving party has met its burden, the burden shifts to the nonmoving party to present sufficient evidence in specific, factual form to establish a genuine factual dispute. Adler v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 144 F.3d 664, 671 (10th Cir. 1998). The nonmoving party may not rest upon the mere allegations or denials of its pleadings. Rather, it must go beyond the pleadings and establish, through admissible evidence, that there is a genuine issue of material fact that must be resolved by the trier of fact. Id. Unsupported conclusory allegations do not create an issue of fact. Finstuen v. Crutcher, 496 F.3d 1139, 1144 (10th Cir. 2007).
The Court does not weigh the evidence and make findings of fact on a motion for summary judgment. The Court only determines whether there is a genuine dispute concerning a material fact. Jones v. Barnhart, 349 F.3d 1260, 1265 (10th Cir. 2003). An issue is "genuine" if there is sufficient evidence on each side so that a rational trier of fact could resolve the issue either way. Adler, 144 F.3d at 670. An issue of fact is "material" if under the substantive law it is essential to the proper disposition of the claim. Id.
Under Oklahoma law, parties are free to structure their contractual obligations as they wish, so long as they do not clearly contravene the law or public policy. Combs v. Shelter Mut. Ins. Co., 551 F.3d 991, 996 (10th Cir. 2008) (citing Oxley v. Gen. Atlantic Res., Inc., 1997 OK 46, 936 P.2d 943, 945). A contract should be construed to carry out the intention of the parties at the time the contract was made, and should receive a construction which makes it reasonable, lawful, definite and capable of carrying into effect if it can be done without violating the intent of the parties. Oxley, 936 P.2d at 945-946.
Pursuant to these rules of contract construction, the Court finds the Employment Agreement enforceable and permits SJB to recover the judgment at issue. "In Oklahoma, contingency fee contracts of fifty percent or less are valid and enforceable." In re Western Real Estate Fund, Inc., 922 F.2d 592, 595 (10th Cir. 1990) (citing 5 OKLA. STAT. § 7).
