U.S. District Court for the NMI designated judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood has ordered the Settlement Fund to pay its trustee, Joyce C. H. Tang, $39,272.98 for professional services and expenses incurred during the months of September to December 2013.<\/p>\n
Tydingco-Gatewood said the amount represents 90 percent of professional fees and 100 percent of all expenses incurred in September, October, November, and December 2013.<\/p>\n
The judge further ordered the Settlement Fund to hold in trust t the sum of $4,149.75, which represents 10 percent of Tang\u2019s professional fees for that period.<\/p>\n
Tydingco-Gatewood said Tang may petition for the release of the 10 percent retainage every quarter.<\/p>\n
Tang requested for compensation in the amounts of $41,497.50 in professional services and $1,925.23 in expenses, for a total of $43, 422.73 for the four-month period.<\/p>\n
The judge said she reviewed her order for payment of the trustee\u2019s invoices for that four-month period that she issued on April 29, 2014.<\/p>\n
Tydingco-Gatewood said the April 29 order contained a table summarizing the four invoices Tang submitted for the Settlement Fund.<\/p>\n
However, she said, the totals listed on the table did not include the amounts set forth in the September invoice.<\/p>\n
In amending the table, Tang said the September invoice contains $6,450 in professional services and $421 in expenses, for a total of $6,871.<\/p>\n
Last week, Tydingco-Gatewood ordered the Settlement Fund to pay Tang $39,656.80 for professional services and expenses incurred from March to May 2014. Last April, the judge also ordered the Settlement Fund to pay Tang $25,634.25 for professional services and expenses incurred in January and February 2014. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
