WHEREAS the Court granted Plaintiff NYGÅRD INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP's ("Nygård") Temporary Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause re Preliminary Injunction on July 15, 2009 for the reason that Defendant PARADIGM INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Florida Corporation ("Paradigm" and/or "Defendant"), unreasonably refused to release the bills of lading for Nygård's goods,
WHEREAS the Court granted Nygård's Preliminary Injunction on July 24, 2009, and awarded Nygård's attorneys' fees and costs,

WHEREAS the clerk of the United States District Court issued a check to Nygård for $45,037.88 on August 25, 2009 based on the Court's July 24, 2009 Order Granting Preliminary Injunction,
WHEREAS the difference between the funds issued to Nygård for its attorneys' fees and costs, and the attorneys' fees and costs detailed in Nygård's August 16, 2009 declaration is $16,750.37,
The Court finds that there is good cause appearing to grant Nygård its additional attorneys' fees and costs in the amount of $16,750.37.
