3. On August 21, 2012, Special PACA Trust Counsel submitted its Ex-Parte Motion
to Modify the PACA Claims Procedure to Require All PACA Trust Claimants Claiming a Right
to Attorneys Fees File Such Claims within 21 days of the Courts Order Granting Special PACA
Trust Counsels Motion (Docket No. 273 in the Delta Case and Docket No. 93 in the Superior
Case).
4. On August 23, 2012, the Court granted Special PACA Trust Counsels ex-parte
motion to modify the PACA claims procedure (Docket No. 287 in the Delta Case, and Docket
No. 105 in the Superior Case).
DISCUSSION
5. The Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, 7 U.S.C. 499e et seq., provides
that a dealer who receives produce must hold the produce, all inventories derived from the
produce, and receivables from the sale of such produce in trust for the benefit of all unpaid
suppliers or sellers of such commodities. . .until full payment of the sums owing in connection
with such transaction has been received. 7 U.S.C. 499e(c)(2).
6. Attorneys fees and interest are sums owing in connection with the transaction
to which a PACA claimant is entitled; provided that a contractual right arose from the exchange
of contractual communications and [a PACA claimants] invoices, then [the PACA claimant] has
a right under PACA to enforce the full scope of its perishable agricultural commodities
contract. Middle Mountain Land and Produce, Inc. v. JR Simplot Company, 307 F.3d 1220,
1224-25 (9th Cir. 2002); Country Best v. Christopher Ranch, LLC, 361 F.3d 629, 632 (11th Cir.
2004) (finding that the term sums owing in connection with includes not only the price of
commodities but also attorneys fees and interest that buyers and sellers have bargained for in
their contracts.). Accord May Produce Co. v. East West Imps. Inc., 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS

#4162575.2
3
117076 (N.D. Tex. Dec. 15, 2009); Ruby Robinson Co v. Kalil Fresh Marketing, Inc., 2009 U.S.
Dist. LEXIS 96366 (S.D. Tex., Oct. 16, 2009).
7. The invoices Harllee sent to Superior and Delta, and which were submitted with
Harllees PACA Proof of Claim Form, contain language entitling it to recover for attorneys fees
in the event of collection. See Harllees Invoices attached to PACA Proof of Claim Form, Claim
No. 32 in the Delta Case, and Claim No. 35 in the Superior Case ([A]ttorneys fees necessary
to collect payment are sums owing in connection with Transaction.)
8. Therefore, Harllees invoices establish a contractual right to the recovery of
attorneys fees, which is a sum owing in connection with the produce transaction.
9. As supported by the declaration of counsel attached hereto as Exhibit A, Harllee
has incurred attorneys fees of $9,516.40 (note that $697.00 are fees from local counsel, see
attached invoice from Bracewell & Giuliani, LLP) to collect the debt owed to it by Delta and
Superior.
10. The amount of fees requested in this application are for both the Superior case and
the Delta case. Due to the nature of the PACA claims process and the joint administration of
this case, undersigned counsel believes that approximately equal time was spent between the
Delta and Superior cases as both entailed the exact same issues and objections to claims. The
objections to claims filed by PACA Counsel in the Delta and Superior cases were withdrawn,
after discussion and debate, by that certain Order on Motion to Compromise. (See Docket No.
273 in the Delta Case, and Docket No. 93 in the Superior Case).
WHEREFORE, claimant Harllee Packing, Inc. submits this claim for attorneys fees in
the amount of $9,516.40.
