AFFIDAVIT OF HEATHER BEATTIE
My name is Heather Beattie. I am an attorney duly licensed in the State of Colorado to
practice law. In Summit County, Colorado in case number 99CVl52 a judgment was
entered for the Plaintiff in the amount of$6,548.75 for attorney's fees and costs by
District Court Judge Lass. That judgment is valid, enforceable, and unsatisfied.
In Summit County, Colorado case number 99CV152 a judgment was entered for the
Plaintiff for actual amount of damages of$5,749.25 for payroll overpayments and
$13,830.51 for invoice losses for a total of $19,579.76 by District Court Judge
Ruckriegle. Judge Ruckriegle ordered statutory interest at a rate of eight percent (8%)
commencing September 15, 1997. Statutory interest in Colorado is governed by
Colorado Revised Statute 15-12-102(1)(b), which provides for eight percent (8%) interest
to be compounded annually and calculated from the date of the wrongful withholding of
property until judgment or payment, whichever occurs first. Judgment was entered on
December 12, 2001. The interest accruing during the wrongful withholding period is
$7,569.74.
Further, under Colorado Revised Statute 18-4-405 actual damages are trebled at the time
of judgment. The actual damages are $19,579.76. The trebled damages are $58,739.58.
After judgment the Plaintiff becomes a creditor of the Defendant. Under C.R.S. 15-12-
1 02(4 )(b) the judgment accrues interest at the statutory rate of eight percent (8%) per
annum on the amount of judgment. The amount of interest accruing from the date of
judgment to today is $25,138.60. Therefore, the entire judgment to date is $91,447.62.
That judgment is valid, enforceable, and unsatisfied.
Thus, the entire judgment for 99CV152 is $97,966.37. On April 22, 2004 the Colorado
Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment issued by District Court Judge Ruckriegle in
99CV152 in case number 02CA36. There are no other pending appeals in this case.
Certification of Residence
The Defendant, Angela Bilunas-Hardy resides at 531 Quail Court, Mechanicsburg, P A
17050. The Plaintiff conducts business at 156 Summit CR450 Unit B7, Breckenridge,

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
PURSUANT TO C.R.C.P. 56, WITH AUTHORITIES
TillS MA TIER comes before the Court on Plaintiff A-I Auto Repair & Detail, Inc.'s
Motion for Summary Judgment Pursuant to C.R.C.P. 56, With Authorities. The Court has
reviewed the motion, response, and reply, as .weY as the Court file in this case, and being fully
advised, now rules as follows.
A. FACTS
Plaintiff A-I Auto. Repair & Detail, Inc. (hereinafter" A-I ") hired Defendant Hardy as a
secretary/office assistant in approximately July 1996. Hardy's duties included scheduling
appointments for A-I customers, collecting payments from A-I customers, making deposits to
A-l's bank accounts, paying A-I bills, and preparing and issuing A-I payroll checks. Defendant
worked from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a half-hour off for lunch. Hardy was to be paid for
actual hours worked. A-I did not offer paid vacation time or sick pay.
Hardy tenninated her employment with A-Ion September 15, 1997. Shortly thereafter,
A-I discovered that Defendant overpaid herself on her last payroll check. A-I then obtained
copies of its payroll checks payable to Hardy and compared the amounts shown thereon with the
.( actual number of hours Hardy worked. as recorded in the corporate calendar. A-I retained Sean

.
,
Dougherty, Certified Public Accountant, to review said payroll records and determine any
amount overpaid to Defendant. Mr. Dougherty found that from September 1,1996 to September
14, 1997, Hardy overpaid herself $5,749.25.
Upon further investigation, A-I discovered that its records of approximately 69 job
invoices were missing. A-I's invoice forms are sequentially-numbered, triplicate carbon copy
forms. The top copy is the customer's receipt, the bottom copy is for A-I's records, and the
middle copy is either destroyed or provided to their employee-mechanic, Kirk Smith, if he did
the work described on the invoice, to calculate his pay. Kirk Smith retained copies of 50 of the
69 missing invoices. Each of these copies were marked "paid cash,1I however, the cash payments
from these invoices totaling $10,312.51, were never deposited in A-I IS bank account. A-I
alleges that Hardy took the cash paid by the customers for these invoices, destroyed A-I's
records of the job, and retained the cash for herself, rather than depositing it in the corporate
checking account.
(
Hardy was prosecuted by the Summit County District Attorney for two counts of Theft
by Series pursuant to C.R.S. 18-4-401(4) in connection with the same facts and circumstances as
set forth above. Each count was for each of the consecutive six month periods in which the theft
was alleged to occur, September 30, 1996 to March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1997 to September
16, 1997. During the criminal case, the prosecution utilized a qualified expert, Iohn M. M~
Certified Public Accountant, Certified Fraud Examiner, of The Mann Group, Inc. to conduct a
forensic investigation of the alleged thefts. Mr. Mann concluded that Hardy retained the cash
receipts from A-I IS customers, totaling $10,312.50, and overpaid herself $5,749.25. Mr. Mann
concluded there was an estimated additional loss due to Hardy's retention of cash payments from
the 19 invoices that could not be located of $3,518. Mr. Mann further detennined that A-I IS
monthly sales amounts during the period of Defendant's employment were noticeably less than
during the period immediately following the termination of her employment. On November 29,
2000, Hardy was fOWld guilty on two counts of theft by series.
On March 9, 2001, Defendant was sentenced to six years probation and ordered to pay
restitution in the amount of$2,849.59. This amount was fixed by the court per agreement
between the Defendant and the District Attorney, after A-I failed to appear at the restitution
hearing scheduled on that date. The basis for the agreement was that as a result of the jury's
verdict in the criminal case, there was an issue raised with respect to the actual amount of money
that Defendant overpaid herself. Because the jury did not return a verdict designating a specific
dollar amount in the criminal case, as well as the fact that the District Attorney was not able to
proceed to a hearing on the restitution issue, the amount of restitution was found to be reasonable
by the court.
Hardy's conviction is presently on appeal. No cross-appeal has been filed pertaining to
the sanctions imposed by the court against the prosecution. Said sanctions precluded the District
Attorney from introducing into evidence the alleged missing invoices.
A-I brought this action against Hardy for conversion and civil theft. Plaintiff alleges that
while employed by it, Defendant without authorization overpaid herself on payroll checks and

(
retained cash payments made by A-I customers for herself. A-I now moves for summary
judgment on its two claims in this action.
B. SUMMARY JUDGMENT STANDARD
Under Rule 56( c), summary judgment is proper only when the pleadings, affidavits,
depositions, or admissions establish that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact, and that
the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter oflaw. The purpose of summary judgment
is to pennit the parties to pierce the formal allegations of the pleadings, and save the time and
expense connected with trial when, as a matter oflaw, based on undisputed facts, one party could
not prevail. Mt. Emmons Mining Co. v. Town of Crested Butte. 690 P.2d 231, 238 (Colo. 1984).
The moving party has the initial burden to demonstrate an absence of evidence in the
record that supports the nonmoving party's case. Civil Servo Comm'n v. Pinder, 812 P.2d 645,
649 (Colo. 1991). Once the moving party has met this initial burden, however, the burden shifts
to the nonmoving party to establish that there is a triable issue of fact. Id. In making this
showing, the party opposing the motion for summary judgment cannot rely on the allegations of
the pleadings, but must present specific facts establishing a genuine issue for trial. See C.R.C.P.
56(e); See also Dileo v. Koltnow, 613 P.2d 318, 324 (Colo. 1980). A reasonable continuance for
discovery purposes may be ordered if it appears that summary judgment would be premature
absent the opportunity to conduct such discovery. C.R.C.P. 56(f); Sandoval v. Archdiocese of
Denver, 8 P.3d 598,605 (Colo. 2000).
(
c. CONVERSION OF PAYROLL OVERPAYMENTS
Plaintiff argues that Defendant is collaterally estopped from re-litigating the issue of her
liability for conversion in connection with the payroll overpayments. Under the doctrine of
collateral estoppel, the final decision of a court on an issue actually litigated and determined is
conclusive ofiliat issue in any subsequent suit. Pomeroy v. Waitkus. 517 P.2d 396,399 (Colo.
1973). Collateral estoppel applies when four criteria are established: (1) the issue decided in the
previous case is identical with the one presented in the action in question; (2) there was a fmal
judgment on the merits; (3) the party against whom the preclusion is asserted was a party to the
previous adjudication; and (4) the party against whom preclusion is asserted had a full and fair
opportunity to litigate the issue in the previous adjudication. Id.; Blair v. All Stars Soorts
Cabaret, 87 F.Supp.2d 1133, 1134-35 (D.Colo. 2000).
1. Identical Issue
Defendant contends that Colorado courts have only applied collateral estoppel in matters
where either both cases were civil actions or both cases were criminal actions. Defendant argues
that the doctrine of collateral estoppel is not applicable because the previous adjudication was in
a criminal matter, and the present matter is a civil one.
The Court is not convinced by Defendant's argument. The doctrine has been held to
apply in any subsequent suit Pomeroy v. Waitkus, supra. (E~phasis added). The limitation on
\.

.~UI .e6B~O~S. S~lne^ punoADAepUn "OU~
.,;- .
(
.
.
the doctrine urged by Defendant is not an independent consideration in the Court's analysis.
Rather, the Court's only concern is that the issues themselves are identical, not the forum.
On November 29,2000, Hardy was convicted of theft by series under C.R.S. 18-4-
401(4). The elements of criminal theft, as set forth in C.R.S. 18-4-401, are the defendant
knowingly obtained or exercised control over anything of value of another without authorization,
with the intent to deprive the other person permanently of the use or benefit of the thing of value.
The jury instruction used in the criminal matter reflected these elements. Conversion is "any
distinct, unauthorized act of dominion or ownership exercised by one person over personal
property belonging to another." Byron v. York. !nv. Co., 296 P.2d 742, 745 (Colo. 1956).
In comparing the jury instruction for theft and the definition of conversion, the Court
finds that the elements to prove both are identical. In order to prove conversion, the plaintiff
must show that the individual (defendant) took distinct (knowingly) WUluthoriZed (without
authorization) action of dominion over (obtain or exercise control over) personal property of
another (which was the property of another). Thus, the Court finds that Plaintiff meets the fmt
criterion of collateral estoppel.
2. Final Judgment on the Merits
It is undisputed that the criminal trial was a final judgment on its merits.
3. Party to the Previous Adjudication
It is undisputed that Defendant was a party to the previous adjudication.
4. Full and Fair Opportunity to Litigate the Issue
Defendant contends that the criminal trial involved only part of the alleged scheme of
embezzlement, and that the case "was tried in a vacuum" on this issue alone. The Court is not
persuaded by this "vacuum" argument. The doctrine of collateral estoppel applies to issue
preclusion. Pomerov, supra. To claim that this was one of many issues that are a part of this
matter and thus collateral estoppel is inappropriate is nonsensical. The doctrine is designed to
apply to such a single issue.
Defendant further argues that she has not had an opportunity to complete discovery. In
support of this argument Defendant's attorney has provided an affidavit indicating that material
issues of fact exist, but he must be allowed more time to conduct discovery on these matters.
Defendant also lists several witnesses who did not testify at the criminal trial, that allegedly will
testify to circumstances that will show that Tony Atkinson and Cameron Arbuckle, owners of A-
I, conspired to manipulate the "missing invoices" and the calendar in order to convince the
police to investigate and press charges against Defendant.
The Court finds Defendant's argument disingenuous. The Complaint was filed on May
18,1999. Defendant filed her Answer on June 18, 1999. Almosttwo-and-a-halfyears have
\ passed since Defendant filed her Answer. During this time, Defendant has been involved in a
\\~
e d OOOOOOOOgL"OH/Zl:e '~S/~l:a eooz az ^OH<3n~)
.~UI ..Be~o~s. S~lne^ puno~n~epun "O~~
.
.
"
(
criminal matter dealing with the identical claims that are made in this matter. While discovery in
criminal matters may not always be as extensive as in civil matters, there is nonetheless
opportunity to discover information. Moreover, Defendant has listed twelve individuals in her
response that are likely to have information regarding Tony Atkinson and Cameron Arbuckle's
conspiracy to manipulate the missing invoices and the calendar. Despite over two years of past
time, despite being previously involved in a matter with identical issues, and despite the vast
number of individuals who supposedly contain information, Defendant claims to be unable to
produce any facts, such as in the form of an affidavit, that would create a genuine issue of
material fact. Defendant herself does not produce an affidavit creating a material issue of fact.
The Court finds Defendant's argument remarkable and wholly unpersuasive.
Defendant admits that she presented substantial evidence at the criminal trial that placed
in doubt the calendar used by the Plaintiff. Defendant further admits that evidence was produced
at the criminal trial that related to the overpayment of wages. Despite this admitted evidence,
Defendant was found guilty. Based on the foregoing, the Court finds that Defendant was
afforded a full and fair opportunity to litigate the issue in the criminal trial. Therefore, the Court
finds that Defendant is collaterally estopped from re-litigating the issue of her liability for
conversion in connection with the payroll overpayments.
D. DAMAGES FOR CONVERSION OF PAYROLL OVERPAYMENTS
Plaintiff next argues that the amount of damages for the conversion claim should be set at
$5,749.25. In support of this claim, Plaintiff cites to the affidavit of Mr. Mann assessing
Defendant's overpayment of payroll checks to herself at $5,749.25. Defendant argues that if
collateral estoppel' applies, the amount of damages must be limited to $2,849.58, the agreed upon
amount during the restitution hearing. This amount, however, was not based on any facts before
the trial court in the criminal matter. Rather, it was based on a compromise between the District
Attorney and Defendant. This Court is not limited to this amount of damages.
The measure of damages for conversion is generally the value of the converted property
at the time and place of the misappropriation, plus interest at the legal rate from the time of the
conversion until the time of trial. Masterson v. McCroskie, 573 P.2d 547, 551 (Colo. 1978).
Plaintiffhas submitted uncontroverted evidence that the amount of the oveIpayment was
$5,749.25. Therefore, Plaintiff is entitled to this amount.
E. CONVERSION OF CASH PAYMENTS
Plaintiff further requests summary judgment on its claim against Defendant for
conversion in connection with Defendant's alleged retention of cash payments from customers.
Plaintiff presents to the Court the affidavits of Tony Atkinson and John M. Mann which
delineate Defendant's involvement in the retention of the cash payments. In his affidavit, Mr.
Mann concluded that Defendant had retained a total of$13,830.51 in cash payments.
Defendant argues that Plaintiffs version of the story and witnesses are not credible, but
(\ fails to set forth specific facts to contradict it. Since Defendant is unable to present specific facts
\?p

.~UI CeBe~o~s. S~lne^ puno~8~epun "O~~

,
oJ
.., ~ t .
establishing a genuine issue of fact for trial, the Court finds that Plaintiffs request for summary
( judgment on this claim is appropriate in the principal amount of$13,830.51.
F. CIVIL THEFT
Las~ Plaintiff requests summary judgment on its second claim for relief, civil theft.
C.R.S. 18-4-105 provides in part:
All property obtained by theft, robbery, or burglary shall be restored to the owner, and no
sale, whether in good faith on the part of the purchaser orno~ shall divest the owner of
his right to such property. . . In any such action, the owner may recover two hundred
dollars or three times the amount of the actual damages sustained by him, whichever is
greater, and may also recover costs of the action and reasonable attorney fees....
The Colorado Supreme Court has found that C.R.S. 18-4-105 provides "independent (civil]
remedies to the owners of stolen property." See In re Marriasze of Allen, 724 P.2d 651,658
(Colo. 1986). In order to receive court awarded treble damages, attorney fees, and costs, the
plaintiff need only prove that the defendant committed acts constituting one of the statutory
crimes of theft. Itin v. Bertrand T. Uneer. P.C., 17 P.3d 129, 133 (Colo. 2000). As set forth
above, it is undisputed that Defendant committed acts constituting the statutory crime of theft
with respect to Plaintiffs personal property. Therefore, Defendant is liable for civil theft and
Plaintiff is entitled to treble damages and attorney's fees.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED,
1. Plaintiffs request for summary judgment on its two claims for conversion and civil
theft against Defendant is GRANTED.
2. The amount of damages for the payroll overpayments is $5,749.25
3. The amount of damages for the invoice losses is $13,830.51.
4. Interest is set at the statutory rate of 8%, commencing September 15, 1997.
5ill/Plaintiff is entitled to treble damages and attorney's fees pursuant to C.R.S. 18-4-105.

AFFIDAVIT OF HEATHER BEATTIE
My name is Heather Beattie. I am an attorney duly licensed in the State of Colorado to
practice law. In Summit County, Colorado in case number 99CV152 a judgment was
entered for the Plaintiff in the amount of$6,548.75 for attorney's fees and costs by
District Court Judge Lass. That judgment is valid, enforceable, and unsatisfied.
In Summit County, Colorado case number 99CV152 a judgment was entered for the
Plaintiff for actual amount of damages of$5,749.25 for payroll overpayments and
$13,830.51 for invoice losses for a total of$19,579.76 by District Court Judge
Ruckriegle. Judge Ruckriegle ordered statutory interest at a rate of eight percent (8%)
commencing September 15,1997. Statutory interest in Colorado is governed by
Colorado Revised Statute 15-12-l02(1)(b), which provides for eight percent (8%) interest
to be compounded annually and calculated from the date of the wrongful withholding of
property until judgment or payment, whichever occurs first. Judgment was entered on
December 12, 2001. The interest accruing during the wrongful withholding period is
$7,569.74.
Further, under Colorado Revised Statute 18-4-405 actual damages are trebled at the time
of judgment. The actual damages are $19,579.76. The trebled damages are $58,739.58.
After judgment the Plaintiff becomes a creditor of the Defendant. Under C.R.S. 15-12-
102(4)(b) the judgment accrues interest at the statutory rate of eight percent (8%) per
annum on the amount of judgment. The amount of interest accruing from the date of
judgment to today is $25,138.60. Therefore, the entire judgment to date is $91,447.62.
That judgment is valid, enforceable, and unsatisfied.
Thus, the entire judgment for 99CV152 is $97,966.37. On April 22, 2004 the Colorado
Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment issued by District Court Judge Ruckriegle in
99CV152 in case number 02CA36. There are no other pending appeals in this case.
Certification of Residence
The Defendant, Angela Bilunas-Hardy resides at 531 Quail Court, Mechanicsburg, P A
17050. The Plaintiff conducts business at 156 Summit CR450 Unit B7, Breckenridge,
CO 80424.
