An 11th Circuit panel has affirmed a decision by a lower court judge vacating his own default finding against Kuwait & Gulf Link Transport Co., one of the U.S. military's largest contractors in the Middle East. In 2007, federal Judge William S. Duffey Jr. awarded the $4.9 million judgment to the family of Lt. Col. Dominic Baragona, who was killed in Iraq by a KGL vehicle that struck his Humvee. Duffey issued the default judgment after KGL refused to accept delivery of the complaint and did not appear in federal court.
