February 3, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 221 ORDER (1) GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS FIRST AMENDED COUNTERCLAIM OF SANDWICH ISLES COMMUNICATIONS, INC., ECF NO. 176 ; AND (2) GRANTING MOTION FOR ENTRY OF FINAL JUDGMENT ON COUNT ONE OF THE COMPLAINT, ECF NO. 179 - Signed by CHIEF JUDGE J. MICH AEL SEABRIGHT on 2/3/2020. For the foregoing reasons, (1) the United States' Motion to Dismiss First Amended Counterclaim of Sandwich Isles Communications, Inc., ECF No. 176, is GRANTED, and (2) The Un ited States' Motion for Entry of Final Judgment on Count I of the Complaint, ECF No. 179, is GRANTED. The First Amended Counterclaim is DISMISSED with prejudice. A Rule 54(b) judgment shall issue forthwith in favor of the United States and ag ainst Sandwich Isles. The evidence submitted by the United States in its Reply indicates that, as of September 30, 2019, the exact amount owed by Sandwich Isles for breach of contract under Count One was $136, 598,437.40. See Kuchno Decl. 5, ECF No. 196-1 at PageID #3202; see also id. at PageID #3204-06 (providing billings of interest and principal due). But because interest on that amount has apparently continued to accrue since that tim e, to fix the exact amount of judgment, the United States is instructed to file a declaration (including similar proof of interest and principal due) with an updated amount owed as of the date this order is filed. That declaration is due by Feb ruary 7, 2020. If Sandwich Isles desires to dispute the calculation of that amount, it may do so by February 14, 2020 with any opposition strictly limited to the calculation. After approval by this court, the clerk of court will enter a n amended Rule 54(b) judgment, with the total amount owing under Count One of the Complaint.
