NICKEL BRIDGE CAPITAL, LLC, Plaintiff, VS. INTERNATIONAL POWER SERVICES, LLC, et al., Defendants.

CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:23-CV-01047

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION

September 29, 2025

ENTERED September 29, 2025 Nathan Ochsner, Clerk

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Before the Court are Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff International Power Services (IPS) and Defendant Hendrickson‘s Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 72), Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant Nickel Bridge Capital‘s (NBC) Motion for Partial Summary Judgment (ECF No. 73), and NBC and Third-Party Defendant Jeff Young‘s Motion for Summary Judgment as to IPS’ Claims (ECF No. 75). On July 28, 2025, United States Magistrate Judge Richard W. Bennett issued a Sealed Report and Recommendation (“R&R“) in this case, recommending that all three motions for summary judgment be denied (ECF No. 105). NBC and Young filed Objections to the R&R‘s denial of their motion for summary judgment on IPS’ claims (ECF No. 110), and IPS responded (ECF No. 111). IPS and Hendrickson did not object to the R&R.

As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), the Court has conducted a de novo review of the portions of the R&R to which NBC and Young objected. However, the Court agrees with the conclusions, and the reasoning, of the R&R. Accordingly, the Court hereby ADOPTS the R&R and DENIES the three pending Motions for Summary Judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Signed at Houston, Texas on September 29, 2025.

United States District Judge
