Hugger <br />Ranald S. Hugger v. 1995 F.ord F350 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. H.oeft: <br /> <br />Mr. Hugger has retained .our firm with respect t.o the ab.ove-capti.oned matters in an <br />attempt ta c.ollect the am.ounts awed him pursuant t.o tw.o Caurt Orders. <br /> <br />First, Mr. Hugger is .owed the sum tatal .of $6,572.47 that was awarded t.o him by the <br />Court .of Appeals as and far attarney fees and C.osts. Obvi.ously, iliere is n.o argument this <br />amaunt is owed and therefare I W.ould expect a check made payable ta R.ose & Ericksan, <br />PLLe and R.onald S. Hugger immediately. If necessary, I will request a m.oti.on hearing <br />and seek additi.onal att.orney fees and sancti.ons. <br /> <br />Sec.ond, Mr. Hugger is .owed the fair market value f.or the vehicle that was unlawfully <br />S.old at auctian. After reviewing all previ.ous d.ocuments, I see that .on April 8, 2003 Mr. <br />Hugger demanded the immediate return.ofhis vehicle arthe sum t.otal .of $44,603.94 as <br />and fer th.e value .of the "ehide at the time. is waS seized.' An itemiZed list was provided <br />ta yau detailing h.oW Mr. Hugger arrived at this number. <br /> <br />It is my understanding that yau dan't believe the vehicle was W.orth that am.ount. My <br />questian is h.oW much da yau believe the vehicle was warth? Give me a number and we <br />can try ta res.olve this matter. The vehicle was clearly warth far m.ore than the $13,500 it <br />saId fer at the palice auctian. In fact I have secured a witness that attempted t.o place a <br />bid on the day .of the auctian f.or $18,000 but was t.old his bid weuld nat be accepted due <br />ta the fact thatthe City .ofLexingtan was gaing t.o prevail with its bid. Therefere I <br />questien whether the sale .of the vehicle was even at arms length. <br /> <br />3f <br />
