The order recounts a September 19 joint consent motion, defendants’ objection and an October 30, 2025 opinion finding an earlier CL22-3882 settlement valid and the receivership properly recorded in Richmond. It says the earlier consent request was nevertheless denied and further rulings stayed pending Texas proceedings. Page 1’s description says the Receiver acted “on behalf of the Plaintiffs”; that printed wording is preserved without silently correcting its apparent role inconsistency.

The order additionally awards costs including reasonable attorneys’ fees in the stated amount of $25,250.50, per agreement, and post-judgment interest at 6% per annum from entry. It dismisses remaining motions as moot and both complaint and counter-complaint with prejudice and ends the cause. The express award is not proof of satisfaction or current balance.supportsTreating the judgment as currently enforceable for its full face amount assumes no later modification, stay, reversal or satisfaction; this copy alone does not establish that current state.

The order recounts a September 19 joint consent motion, defendants’ objection and an October 30, 2025 opinion finding an earlier CL22-3882 settlement valid and the receivership properly recorded in Richmond. It says the earlier consent request was nevertheless denied and further rulings stayed pending Texas proceedings. Page 1’s description says the Receiver acted “on behalf of the Plaintiffs”; that printed wording is preserved without silently correcting its apparent role inconsistency.supportsThe consent relied on is expressly Receiver/plaintiff consent within the court’s authority finding.

The order bears signatures in the judge, plaintiffs’ counsel and Receiver’s counsel blocks plus a clerk copy certification. Jimmy F. Robinson’s defence counsel block has a blank signature line and says Signature Waived Pursuant to Rule 1:13.

The order relies on changed circumstances: a Texas appellate abatement order of 4 November 2025 treating the mandamus-related appeal as closed and removing it from the docket, and an 11 November denial of an emergency stay motion.
