Consideration of Settlement Offer to Compromise Outstanding Civil Restitution Lien Orders Filed Against Bobby Dwayne Graham
body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Attorney David Sasser represents the heirs to the Estate of Linda Lee Gould, Case No. 24-CP-1361. While preparing to sell the decedent’s home, it was discovered that heir Bobby Dwayne Graham has several outstanding Civil Restitution Lien Orders (CRLO’s) totaling $64,950 ($100,259.45 after interest). As Mr. Graham is one of four heirs, his share of the sale proceeds is estimated to be around $27,000. Mr. Graham proposes that he give Hernando County his sale proceeds in return for partial releases of the outstanding CRLO’s and full release of the CRLO’s as to the property being sold. If the Board agrees to the proposal, the balance owed of the CRLO’s would still be liens against any other real property that Mr. Graham owns. The subject liens are:
Case Number Date ORB Amount (Without Interest)
10-CF-0224 10-29-10 2781/567 $12,000
13-CF-0240 10-01-14 3131/1280 $17,950
13-CR-0240 10-13-14 3134/607 $17,950
16-CF-2194 02-09-17 3439/917 $2,300
19-CF-1188 09-25-19 3758/1918 $13,500
20-CT-2155 11-23-25 3918/545 $500
24-CT-3118 05-20-25 4566/725 $750
Should the Board vote to accept the offer, the Chairman should be authorized to sign the attached Partial Release of Civil Restitution Lien Orders as to Specific Property.
Neither the Board nor staff will need to take any further action if the Board votes to decline the offer to compromise.
