| 11/20/2008 | 84 | ORDER: The Court is informed by the Special Master that he has not completed his work and that is related to the individual defendants, Carl E. Royse and Jeanette A. Riley. Sentencing as to Carl E. Royse is RESET for 2/23/2009 at 8:30 AM in the East St. Louis Court House before Judge G. Patrick Murphy. Sentencing as to Jeanette A. Riley is RESET for 2/23/2009 at 9:00 AM in the East St. Louis Court House before Judge G. Patrick Murphy. The funds allotted for the services of the Special Master are extended such that they shall not exceed $6,000 total, to be paid from the funds of Hughes Energy, Inc. There is no question that restitution in this case exceeds the assets of the corporate defendant as well as the assets of the individual defendants, and the Court is fearful of additional waste. Therefore, the individual defendants who are also officers and shareholders of the corporation are ORDERED to immediately surrender all corporate funds, stock, and assets to the Special Master, who will hold same in an escrow account to be dispersed on further order of the Court. Signed by Judge G. Patrick Murphy on 11/20/2008. (ssd)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. (Entered: 11/20/2008) |
