Jurisdiction to Enforce a Settlement Agreement After a Case Has Been Dismissed: In Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of America, 511 U.S. 375, 378 (1994), the U.S. Supreme Court held that in order to exercise jurisdiction to enforce a settlement agreement, the district court must specifically retain jurisdiction over the matter or an independent basis for jurisdiction must exist. /d. at 381-382. Kokkonen instructs district courts that a settlement agreement creates a new contract between the parties and in order to enforce that contract, the district court must have independent jurisdiction over that contract. Kokkonen, 511 U.S. at 381. 8. When an original action has been dismissed (without retention of jurisdiction to enforce the settlement agreement, as is the situation here), a new action must be filed in a court having subject matter jurisdiction. This generally means diversity jurisdiction because enforcing a settlement does not involve a federal question. Hendrickson v. United States, 791 F.3d 354, 362 (2d Cir. 2015) (absent retention of jurisdiction, post-dismissal enforcement of settlement agreement resides in state courts unless independent basis for federal jurisdiction exists); see also Kelly v. Wengler, 822 F.3d 1085, 1094 (9th Cir. 2016) 9, Subject Matter Jurisdiction. This Court has diversity subject matter jurisdiction over Plaintiff's breach of settlement agreement claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1) because the matter in controversy exceeds the sum of $75,000.00, exclusive of interest and costs, and is between citizens of different States. Defendant Alex Gold Holdings, LLC, a/k/a Alex Gold Holdings L.L.C. is a Nevada 3 COMPLAINT 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Case 2:24-cv-01003-RFB-NJK Document1 Filed 05/28/24 Page 4 of 19 limited liability company. Defendant Alexander Bykhovsky is a resident of Puerto Rico. Plaintiff is a resident of a different state (the State of Texas) from Defendants. There is a complete diversity of citizenship of the parties. 10. Personal Jurisdiction over Defendant Alex Gold Holdings. This Court has general personal jurisdiction over Defendant Alex Gold Holdings, LLC, a/k/a Alex Gold Holdings L.L.C. because it is a domestic Nevada limited liability company and is headquartered in this District. Alex Gold Holdings has submitted to jurisdiction in Nevada by registering with the Secretary of State to do business in this state. I]. Personal Jurisdiction over Defendant Alexander Bykhovsky. This Court has specific personal jurisdiction over Defendant Alexander Bykhovsky because Mr. Bykhovsky is essentially “at home” in Nevada, and a substantial part of the wrongful acts alleged in this Complaint were committed from Nevada. As explained in paragraph 5 above, Mr. Bykhovksy transacts substantial business in Nevada, and he owns and operates numerous business entities registered in Nevada, including but not limited to: Debt Giant, Inc. (a Nevada domestic corporation registered in 2017), Documents Done Right, Inc. (a Nevada domestic corporation registered in 2017), Document Support Live, Inc. (a Nevada domestic corporation registered in 2017), Docu Zoom Inc. (a Nevada domestic corporation registered in 2016), CBG Inc. (a Nevada domestic corporation registered in 2017), and the Gold Leads Inc. (a Nevada domestic corporation registered in 2017). Plaintiff is informed and believes that Mr. Bykhovsky was previously a resident of Clark County, Nevada in or around 2019 prior to his moving to Puerto Rico. As recently as March |, 2023, Alexander Bykhovsky, DBA Alex Gold Holdings, LLC, filed a Summary Eviction case in the Las Vegas Justice Court, Case No. 23E008238 against Robert Jerome LeDoux seeking possession of a rental property owned by Bykhovsky in the name of Alex Gold Holdings, LLC.

Despite written notice of default and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure period, Defendants remain in default of their obligations under the Settlement Agreement. 47. As a result of Defendants’ material breach of the Settlement Agreement by defaulting on their obligations to make payments, Plaintiff has suffered actual monetary losses and has incurred expenses to collect the outstanding Settlement Amount. 48. Plaintiff now seeks to enforce the Settlement Agreement for the entire amount of $185,000, with credit given for prior payments totaling $75,000, for total damages of $110,000.
