`
`a
`

`
`was
`
`not

`
`in

`
`(All
`
`parties
`
`were
`
`present.)
`
`THE COURT:
`
`How are
`
`we doing,
`
`folks?
`
`MR. BIAGGI:
`
`We'
`
`re
`
`doing
`
`well,
`
`your
`
`Honor.
`
`We've
`
`to
`
`a resolution
`
`of
`
`those
`
`two
`
`issues
`
`to
`
`come
`
`we'
`and we'll
`
`need
`
`address
`
`the
`
`injunction
`
`paperwork
`
`issue
`
`afterwards.
`
`With
`
`respect
`
`to
`
`the
`
`liquidated
`
`damage
`
`issue
`
`on
`
`the
`
`Castillo
`
`second
`
`contract
`
`in
`
`two
`
`provisions,
`
`I've
`
`reviewed
`
`the
`
`jury
`
`verdict
`
`answers
`
`with
`
`Mr.
`
`Gioffre
`
`and
`
`agreed
`
`with
`
`him that
`
`the
`
`liquidated
`
`damage
`
`provision
`
`that
`
`should
`
`apply

`
`there
`
`was
`
`a specific
`
`finding
`
`by
`
`the
`
`jury
`
`confidential
`
`information,
`
`so
`
`that
`
`knocks
`
`that
`
`that
`
`there
`
`was
`
`no
`
`one
`
`out.
`
`And
`
`I would
`
`ask
`
`the
`
`Court
`
`to
`
`add
`
`a fifty
`
`thousand
`
`dollar
`
`liquidated
`
`damage
`
`to
`
`the
`
`potential
`
`judgment
`
`against
`
`Mr.
`
`Castillo.
`
`THE COURT:
`
`Okay.
`
`Well,
`
`normally
`
`--
`
`I mean,
`
`that
`
`What
`
`you
`
`can
`
`do

`
`normally
`
`here
`
`is
`
`you
`
`can,
`
`you
`

`
`enter

`
`with
`
`a bill

`
`on
`
`the

`
`The
`
`only
`
`open
`
`issue
`
`for me to
`
`decide
`
`is
`
`the
`
`attorneys'
`
`fees.
`
`MR. BIAGGI:
`
`Right.
`
`So,
`
`with
`
`respect
`
`to
`
`that
`
`issue,
`
`we have
`
`also
`
`come

`on
`
`that,

`

`
