update, in case anyone is interested:
after AAAAAAAAAAAALL this time, i the court FINALLY filled my collections paperwork. Huff had 21 days to pay, which he didn't..as i expected. i then filed an MC19 Request and Order to Seize Property. this means they go and take his stuff, sell it, and send me the money.
how awesome is THAT?!
anyway, it FINALLY went through. between my work and school schedules and all the holidays, it took forever. he should be getting notification pretty soon. taking his stuff and selling it. that's just awesome.
