`
`STATEMENT OF RELEVANT FACTS

`The Plaintiff herein, Thunder Properties, Inc., posted two separate cash bonds in the
`
`amount of $900.00 each herein in 2014. See Exhibits 1 and 2, attached hereto and incorporated
`
`herein by reference. The first was posted on April 17, 2014 and the second was posted on June
`
`28, 2014. Id. The bonds were posted in association with a stipulated order entered on April 15,
`
`2014. [ECF #20].
`
`Judgment was entered in favor of Defendant, Bank of America, N.A., on February 28,
`
`2017. [ECF #101]. A subsequent appeal was dismissed on January 26, 2018 [ECF #109], after
`
`the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement and mutual release. Pursuant to the
`
`confidential settlement agreement and mutual release, the parties released all claims related to the
`
`subject matter of this litigation. Upon dismissal of the appeal, the action was fully and finally
`
`resolved; however, the bonds that were posted with the Clerk of Court have not been refunded to
`
`date.
`
`The dispute that was the subject of the Plaintiff’s Complaint has been fully and finally
`
`resolved. No claim was made to the bonds by any party prior to the resolution of the action.
