GRAHAM C. MULLEN, District Judge.
This matter came before the Court upon the Tenth Application for Compensation to Grier Furr & Crisp, PA, Attorneys for the Receiver filed on January 30, 2019 (Doc. No. 240) (the "Fee Application") by A. Cotten Wright, as the duly-appointed receiver in the above-captioned action (the "Receiver"), through counsel. The Court finds and concludes as follows:
Notice of the Fee Application was served upon the parties hereto as required by law. No party in interest filed a timely objection to the Fee Application.
It appears that the Fee Application conforms to the Billing Instructions for Receivers in Civil Actions Commenced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Grier Furr & Crisp, PA has rendered valuable services to the Receiver during this civil proceeding, for which Grier Furr & Crisp, PA has received no compensation and the reasonable value of services as yet uncompensated is at least $14,577.00.
Grier Furr & Crisp, PA is also entitled to reimbursement of actual and necessary expenses incurred in the administration of the receivership in the amount of $1,222.42.
The Orders appointing the Receiver limit the compensation and expense reimbursement available to the Receiver's professionals to thirty percent (30%) of any net recovery. Therefore, the Court approves the Tenth Application for Compensation on the condition that any payment by the Receiver of the compensation approved herein shall be limited 30% of the total net amount recovered by the Receiver over the course of this case prior to deducting administrative expenses.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that
1. The Fee Application is APPROVED;
2. Grier Furr & Crisp, PA is AWARDED professional fees in the amount of $14,577.00 and reimbursement of expenses in the amount of $1,222.42; and
3. The Receiver is AUTHORIZED, upon the Receiver's recovery of additional funds and without further order by the Court, to compensate Grier Furr & Crisp, PA for any approved but unpaid fees and expenses in an amount not in excess of 30% of such additional funds, such that at no time shall the total compensation paid to the Receiver's professionals over the course of this case exceed 30% of the total net amount recovered by the Receiver over the course of this case prior to deducting administrative expenses.
SO ORDERED.
