No. 26), and the court dismisses Counts Five through Seven of the Complaint without prejudice for failure to prosecute. Mr. Cojoms Motion to Withdraw Certain Claims (Doc. No. 33) is granted, and Counts Eight through Ten of the Complaint are dismissed without prejudice. The Clerk is ordered to enter judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $214,293.22, $12,600 in attorneys fees, and $758 in costs, and close the case. Signed by Judge Janet C. Hall on 4/9/2025.
