Denver Metro Audits and Frauditor Troll Reach Settlement in Principle Suddenly

The start of the week saw an unexpected move happen in the long standing war between Christopher “Denver Metro Audits” Cordova and Jonathan “Frauditor Troll” Hudon-Huneault as the parties started Sunday with the filing of a joint notice of pending settlement.

It reads:

Plaintiff Christopher J. Cordova. (“Cordova”) and Defendants Jonathan Hudon-Huneault, Nneka Ohiri, and 14693663 Canada Inc. (collectively “Defendants”) have reached a settlement in principle and are in the process of preparing and executing a written settlement agreement resolving all disputes in the above captioned action, including the Complaint, Counterclaim, and Plaintiff’s claim for attorney’s fees for the anti-SLAPP motion. Once the written settlement agreement is finalized, the parties will seek dismissal of the Complaint and Counterclaim with prejudice.

Plaintiff and Defendants agree that the following deadlines and dates in this action are continued, pending the settlement:

Plaintiff’s deadline of April 22, 2026 to file a motion to establish entitlement and quantum for attorney’s fees for the anti-SLAPP motion;

Defendants’ deadline of April 22, 2026 to file an amended Counterclaim; any pending or anticipated discovery disputes not yet submitted to the Court;

the settlement conference scheduled for July 22, 2026; the trial scheduled for February 1-2, 2027; and fact and expert discovery cut-off dates.

In light of the settlement in principle, the parties respectfully submit that the Court’s ruling on the following pending matters may be deferred:

Defendants’ motion for forum non conveniens or alternatively security for costs (ECF No. 91); and Plaintiff’s discovery dispute (ECF No. 105).

Plaintiff and Defendants stipulate that should either party file a notice with the court indicating that a settlement is no longer pending, the deadlines in 1(a) and 1(b) above would be due ten (10) days after filing that notice and all other dates and deadlines would be reset at a Further Case Management Conference.

Plaintiff and Defendants agree to cooperate to prepare, sign and make effective any stipulation and/or filing that may be necessary to effectuate the stipulations stated in this document.

As between the parties, this stipulation shall be effective upon execution, subject to the Court’s authority over the case schedule and docket.

Plaintiff and Defendants jointly request that this Court remove from its calendar all dates currently pending in the instant action. Further, Plaintiff and Defendants request that this Court set a status conference or Order to Show Cause Re: Dismissal hearing approximately 45 days from the filing of this notice, via Zoom.
