Order denying Defendant’s Motion for Reconsideration after Court denied Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment. Defendant argued that the Court overlooked deposition testimony in the record that created a genuine issue of material fact as to Defendant’s knowledge of a lien. Defendant - a business entity - received a lien report showing the lien at issue. But Defendant argued that its employee failed to see the lien on the report and therefore Defendant had no knowledge of the lien. The Court ruled that the fact was immaterial and did not change the court’s legal conclusions. In the Eleventh Circuit, a business entity is held to have knowledge of a document’s contents if that document is received and placed in the business’s files.
