Goodwin grants in part a Charleston attorney's motion for attorneys fees in the breach of contract suit two other attorneys filed claiming he unjustly enriched himself in filing civil actions for former students of the Miracle Meadows School, a now-shuttered Seventh Day Adventist boarding school in Harrison County, after working jointly with them to file the first 29 suits that ultimately resulted in a $100 million settlement. Since the two attorneys recognized their claim lacked merit due to the absence of a joint venture agreement in the latter cases and voluntarily dismissed the complaint, and the one attorney failed to file for sanctions, he is entitled to an award of attorneys fees as they relate to responding to the two other attorneys' motion to disqualify the Bailey and Glasser law firm and the omnibus renewed motion to file documents under seal. The court holds in abeyance determining the amount until detailed bills are submitted, which are to be provided within 10 days.
