Pursuant to the Order filed concurrent herewith,

This matter came before the Court on bench trial scheduled for January 23, 2019.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:

1. That judgment is hereby entered in favor of Plaintiff Jennett Harlow in accordance with the concurrently filed Order; and
