On March 26, 2019, Judgment was entered in this Court in favor of the Plaintiff, Wendy Lee Sulda and against joined Defendants David Galapo, Drive New LLC and Terminal Logistics LLC in the total amount of $100,000 plus attorney's fees and costs. See Exhibit A [Docket Number 231]. Since the date of the Judgment and service of the Third Party Citation to Discover Assets, Plaintiff has not collected any money. There is now due the sum of $100,000 plus attorney's fees and costs.

2. A Citation to Discover Assets to a Third Party was served on JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. on April 5, 2019. See Citation attached as Exhibit B.

3. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. served its Answer to the Third Part Citation on April 18, 2019 [Docket Number 240] indicating that JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is in possession of non-exempt funds belonging to Defendant David Galapo. More specifically, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s Answer identifies a Safe Deposit Box #2801 located at Emerald Hills 5545 Sheridan St. Hollywood, Florida 33021, as withheld assets belonging to David Galapo. See JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s Answer attached hereto as Exhibit C.

4. Supplementary proceedings to enforce a judgment are governed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 69(a) which provides that a district court is to use state procedure governing the execution of any such judgment. Fed. R. Civ. P. 69(a).

5. Section 5/2-1402 of the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure provides that when assets of a judgment debtor not exempt from the satisfaction of a judgment are discovered, a court may enter an order or judgment compelling the person cited to deliver said assets. 735 ILCS 5/2-1402.

6. As such, the Plaintiff is entitled to the non-exempt property of Defendant David Galapo, the Judgment Debtor, in partial satisfaction of the Judgment Balance remaining due.

7. On April 3, 2019, Plaintiff's counsel in Florida Thomas S. Dolney filed his motion to appear pro hac vice on behalf of Plaintiff Wendy Lee Sulda. See motion [Docket 232] attached hereto as Exhibit D.

8. This Honorable Court has not yet ruled on Thomas S. Dolney's motion to appear pro hac vice.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Wendy Lee Sulda respectfully requests that this Court enter a Judgment on its Third Party Citation and order Third Party Citation Respondent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., to turnover to Plaintiff in partial satisfaction of the judgment, the property of judgment debtor David Galapo in the form of the contents of the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A Safe Deposit Box identified as #2801 located at Emerald Hills 5545 Sheridan St. Hollywood, Florida 33021, to rule on Thomas S. Dolney's Motion for Appear pro hac vice, to designate Charles E. McElvenny as Local Rule 83.15(a) attorney for receipt of service on behalf of Mr. Dolney and for such other relief that this Court deems just and proper.

JUDGMENT ORDER

This matter coming before the Court pursuant to Plaintiff's Motion to Add David Galapo, Drive New, LLC, and Terminal Logistics, LLC as Defendants to the Judgment, it is hereby Ordered:

The court finds that David Galapo, Drive New, LLC, and Terminal Logistics, LLC have forfeited any objection to being named as defendants to the judgment and may be joined under Fed. R. Civ. P. 25(c) as judgment debtors. Accordingly, David Galapo, Drive New, LLC, and Terminal Logistics, LLC are hereby joined as defendants and judgment debtors in the judgment entered on January 29, 2018, in favor of Plaintiff Wendy Lee Sulda and against defendants Shippingquest.com, LLC, Price Break Shipping USA, LLC, Winston Dan Vogel, Albert Abramov, and Javier Sajnovsky in the amount of $100,000 plus attorney's fees and costs. David Galapo, Drive New, LLC, and Terminal Logistics, LLC are jointly and severally liable to Plaintiff Wendy Lee Sulda in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars and zero cents ($100,000) plus attorney's fees and costs. The court declines to award permanent injunctive relief against David Galapo, Drive New, LLC, and Terminal Logistics, LLC, because Plaintiff has not established the necessity for injunctive relief against these new parties. This is a final judgment order against David Galapo, Drive New LLC, and Terminal Logistics, LLC, and there is no just reason for delay in its entry.
