DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO LIFT PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AND MOTION


FOR SANCTIONS FOR FAILURE TO PRODUCE CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE
WITH KNOWLEDGE OF AREAS OF INQUIRY STATED WITHIN DEFENDANT’S
NOTICE OF TAKING RULE 30(b)(6) DEPOSITION DUCES TECUM

Defendant, Joseph Benson (“Defendant”), pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6) of the Federal Rules

of Civil Procedure, hereby files this Motion to Lift Preliminary Injunction and Motion for

Sanctions for Failure to Produce Corporate Representative with Knowledge of Areas of Inquiry

Stated Within Defendant’s Notice of Taking Rule 30(b)(6) Deposition Duces Tecum and in

support thereof states as follows:

Background

On January 20, 2018, the Defendant was served with a Summons and Complaint in the

above-titled action. The Complaint attempts to state claims for injunctive relief pursuant to 18

U.S.C. § 1836(b)(3)(A), damages pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1836(b)(3)(B), Breach of Fiduciary

Duty, Tortious Interference with Business Relationships, Conversion, Theft of Trade Secrets

pursuant to Florida Statute § 688.004, Theft of Trade Secrets pursuant to Florida Statute § 688.003,

and Breach of Contract requesting damages and injunctive relief.

1
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 2 of 227

On or about January 29, 2018, JetSmarter file its Verified Motion for Preliminary

Injunction [Doc. 10] and requested that this Honorable Court enter an order of preliminary

injunction enjoining Benson from utilizing JetSmarter’s trade secrets, from contacting

JetSmarter’s customers, and from tortuously interfering with JetSmarter’s business relationships.

On or about April 6, 2018, after hearing oral arguments from both parties, the Magistrate

provided a Report and Recommendation [Doc. 27] granting the Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary

Injunction. Specifically, the Magistrate found that “Plaintiff has produced evidence showing that

Defendant has been utilizing its Customer List to directly contact its customers in an apparent

effort to terminate or otherwise interfere in their relationships with Plaintiff.” [Doc. 27 at 6].

As indicated in the Magistrate’s Report and Recommendation, the only evidence provided

by the Plaintiff in support of its Motion for Preliminary Injunction was screen shots of chat rooms

wherein Benson provided options for private jet services and stated that members of the chat rooms

were JetSmarter members. However, pursuant to the sworn testimony of JetSmarter, it has been

confirmed that JetSmarter has no proof that Benson is in possession of any “Customer List” or that

he has used said “Customer List” to obtain information of persons to discuss private jet services

in the chat rooms. Further, JetSmarter has admitted that it has not suffered a calculable monetary

amount due to Benson’s communications, nor has JetSmarter provided evidence that it has lost

any customers/ members due to any of Benson’s communications and/or alleged actions. Rather

all that JetSmarter alleges is that its customers have questioned its handling of sensitive personal

information and data. However, JetSmarter has not produced any evidence that demonstrates a

causal connection to any of Benson’s alleged actions and damage to JetSmarter’s business

relationships with its customers. In fact, the evidence shows just the opposite of what JetSmarter

has claimed – there has been no damage to JetSmarter as a result of Benson’s alleged conduct.

2
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 3 of 227

On or about May 1, 2018, the Defendant served its Notice of Taking Rule 30(b)(6)

Deposition Duces Tecum (“Notice of Taking Deposition”). That Notice of Taking Deposition

included “Schedule A,” which provided the areas of inquiry for which the Plaintiff’s corporate

representative was to be knowledgeable. During the Plaintiff’s Corporate Representative’s

deposition, it was clear that the Plaintiff provided a corporate representative who was not privy to

most of the information requested through “Schedule A,” and therefore, wasted time and resources

for Benson to obtain sufficient discovery to defend this lawsuit. According to JetSmarter, this

witness was and is the best person to testify on the areas of inquiry contained in the Rule 30(b)(6)

Notice and the witness, herself, could not provide the name of anyone at JetSmarter with

knowledge beyond her own.

Therefore, due to the sheer lack of evidence and JetSmarter’s failure to provide such

evidence or even assert that such evidence is available to it, Benson is requesting that this

Honorable Court immediately lift the preliminary injunction and sanction the Plaintiff in the form

of Benson’s attorney’s fees and costs for preparing for the Plaintiff’s Corporate Representative

deposition, attending the Plaintiff’s Corporate Representative deposition, and preparing this

Motion.

MEMORANDUM OF LAW AS TO MOTION TO LIFT PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

i. Legal Standard

For a movant to secure a preliminary injunction, that party must demonstrate the following:

“(1) a substantial likelihood of success on the merits; (2) that they will suffer irreparable injury

unless the injunction issues; (3) that the threatened injury to the moving party outweighs whatever

damage the proposed injunction may cause the opposing party; and (4) if issued, that the injunction

would not be adverse to the public interest.” Lucky Cousins Trucking, Inc. v. QU Energy Resources

3
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 4 of 227

Texas, LLC, 223 F.Supp.3d 1221 (M.D. Fla. 2016). (citing TransUnion Risk & Alternative Data

Sols., Inc. v. MacLachlan, 625 Fed.Appx. 403, 405 (11th Cir. 2015). In Lucky Cousins, the

Defendant set forth the four elements necessary for a preliminary injunction, but they failed to

meet the necessary evidentiary standards and burdens under those four elements. Id. A preliminary

injunction “is an extraordinary and drastic remedy,” and therefore, “Plaintiffs must ‘clearly’

establish the burden of persuasion as to each of the four criteria.” Id. (citing Four Seasons Hotels

and Resorts, B.V. v. Consorcio Barr, S.A., 320 F.3d 1205, 1210 (11th Cir. 2003) (quoting

McDonald’s Corp. v. Robertson, 147 F.3d 1301, 1306 (11th Cir. 1998)). The moving party must

prove each factor and “failure to show any [one] of the four factors is fatal.” Allen v. School Bd.

For Santa Rosa County, Fla., 782 F.Supp.2d 1304, 1326 (N.D. Fla. 2011).

ii. There is No Likelihood of Success on the Merits

To succeed on the merits of a preliminary injunction, the Plaintiff must demonstrate a

likelihood of success on the merits at trial as to its prima facie case and each of the Defendant’s

affirmative defenses. Id at 1225 (citing Canal Authority v. Callaway, 489 F.2d 567 (5th Cir. 1974)).

Further, Plaintiff has been unable to respond to the most basic of questions through the course of

written discovery and deposition testimony from its corporate representative. Florida law clearly

holds that “‘we-don’t-know’ responses can be binding on the corporation and prohibit it from

offering evidence at trial on these points. Phrased differently, the lack of knowledge answer is

itself an answer which will bind the corporation at trial.” QBE Inc. Corp. v. Jorda Enterprises,

Inc., 277 F.R.D. 676, 689 (S.D. Fla. 2012).

As stated above, based upon the discovery obtained to this point, it is clear that Plaintiff

does not and will not have sufficient evidence to support success on the merits at trial to prove that

it has been and/or will be damaged as a result of any of Benson’s actions. Specifically, the Plaintiff

4
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 5 of 227

admitted, through written discovery and deposition testimony, that “the amount of monetary

damages resulting from Defendant’s misconduct is, at present incalculable.” The Deposition

Transcript of Jena Marie (Kilbride) Cuevas as the Plaintiff’s Corporate Representative is attached

hereto as Exhibit “A.” Plaintiff’s Answers to Interrogatories are attached hereto as Exhibit “B.”

Further, the Plaintiff has not provided evidence that any present or past JetSmarter

customers/members have terminated their relationship or otherwise ceased doing business with

JetSmarter due to Benson’s alleged actions. Specifically, based upon discovery, the Plaintiff does

not know and cannot provide the current number of people on the customer list versus the number

of people on the customer list at the time that Benson was terminated from JetSmarter. See Exhibit

“A” at 118:7-11. Therefore, there is no way for Plaintiff to proffer any evidence or for Benson to

ascertain how many customers/members JetSmarter lost or even the size of the customer list that

Benson allegedly took. Additionally, the Plaintiff cannot provide any evidence regarding how

much revenue was generated by JetSmarter at the time Benson left JetSmarter or whether revenue

increased or decreased since Mr. Benson left JetSmarter. See Exhibit “A” at 69:21- 70:8.

Additionally, the Plaintiff has steadfastly refused to provide Benson with the notorious

“Customer List”, nor has it provided any evidence whatsoever, either in response to written

discovery or deposition testimony, that an actual “Customer List” exists. Rather, the only thing

that Plaintiff has provided Benson with is a redacted “Members in Telegram Chat Rooms with Joe

Benson” list, which is attached hereto as Exhibit “C.” This document, that was ostensibly

generated by Plaintiff only in response to a Request for Production from Benson seeking the

“Customer List”, tells the reader of the document absolutely nothing, is not sufficient evidence to

support Plaintiff’s claims and is likely not admissible as evidence.

5
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 6 of 227

Finally, the Plaintiff has not any evidence that Benson in fact has that alleged “Customer

List.” Indeed, during the deposition of Plaintiff’s Corporate Representative, she admitted

that she did not have any evidence that Benson has the “Customer List” other than through

“water cooler” talk that she may have heard at JetSmarter’s corporate offices. Instead, all

the Plaintiff has provided is a vague statement that “JetSmarter clients have complained and

threatened not to renew their memberships over concerns relating to JetSmarter’s security

policies due to the release of their private information such as personal cell phone numbers.”

See Exhibit “B.” That testimony provides no evidence that the Defendant is in possession of

an alleged “Customer List,” but rather, that the Plaintiff might have an issue with its own

security. The Plaintiff continues to state unsupported claims based upon rumor and

innuendo that Benson “retained and utilized JetSmarter’s Customer List to directly contact

JetSmarter customers and to invite JetSmarter members to join several chat rooms relating

to private jet services, for the purpose of inducing those members to utilize the services of

JetSmarter’s competitors.” Ultimately, not only has Plaintiff has not provided a scintilla of

evidence that Benson possesses any “Customer List,” but, further, has not provided any

evidence that this “Customer List” even exists.

As will be discussed below in detail, Plaintiff is bound by and through its corporate

representative’s testimony (See Benson’s Memorandum of Law as to Motion for Sanctions for

Failure to Produce Corporate Representative with Knowledge of Areas of Inquiry Stated Within

Defendant’s Notice of Taking Rule 30(b)(6) Deposition Duces Tecum). Thus, the preliminary

injunction presently in effect should be lifted immediately as Plaintiff simply has failed to provide

any evidence to support a likelihood that Plaintiff will succeed on the merits.

6
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 7 of 227

iii. There is No Threat of Irreparable Injury

Although JetSmarter claims that it has already been irreparably harmed, “‘a prayer for

injunctive and declaratory relief requires an assessment, at this stage in the proceeding, of whether

the [movant] has sufficient shown a real and immediate threat of future harm;’ thus, ‘for injury to

suffice for prospective relief, it must be imminent.’” Allen v. School Bd. For Santa Rosa County,

Fla., 782 F.Supp.2d at 1326. Further, “while past exposure to harm suffices to survive a motion

to dismiss on standing ground, it is not enough by itself to warrant preliminary injunctive relief

unless accompanied by ‘continuing, present adverse effects.’” Id. (citing Eland v. Basham, 471

F.3d 1199 (11th Cir. 2006).

As stated above, based upon the written and deposition discovery, JetSmarter has not

provided a shred evidence that the Plaintiff has suffered any harm through Defendant’s actions.

Also, based upon the evidence in this case, there is zero indication that JetSmarter will ever be

able to support its claims against Benson. Specifically, as indicated above, the Plaintiff has

admitted that it cannot calculate the monetary damages that it has suffered. Further, the Plaintiff

has only made vague reference to some speculative damage indicating that it suffers an

“inestimable loss of consumer good will and confidence of present and prospective customers,

investors, and business partners. JetSmarter’s customers have and will question JetSmarter’s

custody of their sensitive personal information and data and JetSmarter’s own data, thereby

damaging JetSmarter’s business relationships with its customers.” See Exhibit “B.” However, the

Plaintiff has not provided any evidence that JetSmarter’s customers, investors and business

partners have made any inquiry or lost confidence in JetSmarter’s privacy policy to support

this illusory and speculative assertion, nor has it provided evidence that Benson would be

7
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 8 of 227

liable for any inquiry or lost confidence in JetSmarter’s privacy policy or in what tangible

way JetSmarter was even harmed if this alleged “concern” was voiced by its customers.

Further, the Plaintiff has not and likely cannot provide any evidence to show how many, if

any, JetSmarter customers have terminated their relationship or otherwise ceased doing business

with JetSmarter as alleged in its Complaint due to some alleged and unsupported conduct of

Benson.

Thus, the preliminary injunction presently in effect should be lifted for no likelihood of

success on the merits subsequent to sufficient discovery.

iv. The Balance of Harms Does Not Weigh in Favor of Granting Injunctive Relief

Plaintiff has not produced one scintilla of evidence to prove that the balance of harm weighs

in favor of granting injunctive relief. At the present, pursuant to the preliminary injunction, Benson

is prohibited from communicating with any of Plaintiff’s customers for any purpose. However,

Benson has been prejudiced because the Plaintiff has not provided Benson with the alleged

“Customer List”, even though it has been requested through discovery. Rather, Benson must

speculate as to whom he may converse with on a daily basis and remain worried that he may be

sanctioned and/or incarcerated at any moment for simply discussing the weather, sports, and/or

any of his other hobbies. Therefore, the preliminary injunction is harming Benson’s livelihood

more than any of Benson’s actions have harmed Plaintiff. Specifically, as stated above, the

Plaintiff cannot articulate or prove any damage that it has suffered other than inquiries regarding

its security and has provided no connection between Benson’s actions in talking to JetSmarter

members and that security of their personal information.

Therefore, the preliminary injunction should be lifted for failure to prove this element, that

the injury to JetSmarter outweighs any potential harm to Benson.

8
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 9 of 227

v. The Public Interest is not Served by Granting the Requested Injunction

JetSmarter cites to a case which states that “a preliminary injunction would affirmatively

serve the public interest by protecting business from employees who misappropriate their trade

secrets.” VAS Aero Services, LLC v. Arroyo, 860 F. Supp. 2d 1349, 1363 (S.D. Fla. 2012).

However, again, JetSmarter has not provided any evidence or testimony that Benson stole a

“Customer List.” Instead, JetSmarter makes mere blanket statements in an attempt to persuade the

Court that it is provided sufficient facts to support its allegations. Now that depositions have been

taken and written discovery has been exchanged it has become increasingly clear that Plaintiff has

absolutely nothing to support its specious claims against Benson.

When a movant fails to establish that the other party misappropriated trade secrets or that

he or she breached any duty owed to the movant, no public interest is served. Alternative Medicine

Integration Group, L.P. v. Langford, No. 8:13-CV-2909-T-33AEP, 2014 WL 12572738, at *4

(M.D. Fla. Aug. 1, 2014), report and recommendation adopted, No. 8:13-CV-2909-T-33AEP,

2014 WL 12575821 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 19, 2014). Here, JetSmarter has not established that Benson

is in possession of a “Customer List” or that there is a causal connection between the alleged

possession of its “Customer List” and its members, investors, and business partners concerns of

its members’ security of information.

Therefore, the preliminary injunction should be lifted for failure to prove this element that

the public interest would be served in continuing to hold this preliminary injunction.

vi. Conclusion

The instant Motion is based upon evidence (obtained both through written discovery and

deposition testimony) that was discovered throughout the pendency of this litigation. At the time

that the Motion for Preliminary Injunction was argued before the Court, on April 5, 2018, Benson

9
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 10 of 227

was not in possession of any of the evidence discussed throughout the instant motion. It was not

until May 16, 2018 (Ms. Cueva’s deposition testimony) and July 7, 2018 (JetSmarter’s responses

to written discovery), which was after this Court’s April 26, 2018 Order Granting Preliminary

Injunction, that Benson was in a position to support the arguments made in the instant motion.

Therefore, based upon this the preliminary injunction should be lifted.

MEMORANDUM OF LAW AS TO MOTION FOR SANCTIONS FOR FAILURE


TO PRODUCE CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE WITH KNOWLEDGE OF
AREAS OF INQUIRY STATED WITHIN DEFENDANT’S NOTICE OF TAKING
RULE 30(b)(6) DEPOSITION DUCES TECUM

Pursuant to Rule 30(g) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, “[a] party who, expected a

deposition to be taken, attends in person or by an attorney may recover reasonable expenses for

attending, including attorney’s fees, if the noticing party failed to (1) attend and proceed with the

deposition.” Further, Rule 37(d)(1)(A) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure states that “[t]he

court where the action is pending may, on motion, order sanctions if: (i) a party or a party’s officer,

director, or managing agent – or person designated under Rule 30(b)(6) or 31(a)(4) – fails, after

being served with proper notice, to appear for that person’s deposition.” Further, “[t]he failure to

properly designate a Rule 30(b)(6) witness can be deemed a nonappearance justifying the

imposition of sanctions.” QBE Inc. Corp., 277 F.R.D. 676, 690. In fact, in QBE Inc. Corp., the

court granted the Defendant’s Motion for Sanctions for Failure to Comply with Rule 30(b)(6) for

the Plaintiff’s failure to adequately prepare its corporate representative for certain topics and

entered a costs and attorneys fee award against the Plaintiff as a sanction. 277 F.R.D. 676, 698.

Finally, the Court in QBE Inc. Corp., provided a summarized what the Court described as

a de facto “Bible” governing corporate depositions and provided litigation commandments and

fundamental passages about pre-trial discovery, which included the following:

10
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 11 of 227

4. Therefore, one purpose is to curb any temptation by the


corporation to shunt a discovering party from “pillar to post” by
presenting deponents who each disclaim knowledge of facts known
to someone in the corporation.

7. A corporation has an affirmative duty to provide a witness who is
able to provide binding answers on behalf of the corporation.

12. The duty to prepare a Rule(b)(6) witness goes beyond matters
personally known to the designee or to matters in which the
designated witness was personally involved.

16. In other words, a corporation is expected to create an appropriate
witness or witnesses from information reasonably available to it if
necessary.

277 F.R.D. 676, 688-699.

Because of the facts described above and below, the Plaintiff’s corporate representative

effectively did not attend the deposition. Specifically, the witness could not respond a majority of

the areas of inquiry within the Notice of Taking Deposition, which is in direct contradiction of

what is required of a corporate Defendant and its corporate representative as described in QBE Inc.

Corp. case. Id.

“Schedule A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition contained the following areas of inquiry:

1. The corporate structure of JetSmarter, Inc., including information


related to the corporate officers and/or members.
2. How the “Customer List” that Plaintiff refers to in its Complaint is
maintained.
3. When the “Customer List” first began to be maintained.
4. All persons who have/ have had access to the “Customer List” since
its inception.
5. How the “Customer List” is compiled.
6. The Defendant’s access to the “Customer List” and the method or
methods by which he had access.
7. The number of individuals on the “Customer List” at the time that
Joe Benson left JetSmarter.
8. The current number of persons on the “Customer List” versus the
number of persons on the “Customer List” at the time that Joe
Benson left JetSmarter.
9. The last date that Joe Benson would have had access to the

11
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 12 of 227

“Customer List.”
10. The Plaintiff’s damages, monetary and non-monetary, as a result of
the Defendant’s alleged actions, which resulted in this lawsuit and
how those damages were determined and calculated.
11. Former JetSmarter clients who have terminated their relationship
with JetSmarter, the dates that those clients have terminated their
relationships and, if known, the reason for those terminations.
12. The Defendant’s job titles and job duties while employed by
JetSmarter, Inc.
13. How JetSmarter’s mobile application is run, including who can send
messages to JetSmarter customers.
14. JetSmarter’s current and former business relationship with Fly
Blade.
15. The factual basis of all claims, causes of action and allegations made
in the Complaint filed by JetSmarter against Joe Benson.
16. The action filed by “Grace Lamey on behalf of herself and all others
similarly situated” against JetSmarter in US District Court for the
Southern District of Florida bearing Case Number 17-cv-61217-
BLOOM/VALLE.
17. All documents upon which were attached to the Complaint.
18. Joe Benson’s employment with JetSmarter, including his title and
job duties with JetSmarter from the time he was hired until the time
of his termination.
19. All communications, whether written or verbal, between Plaintiff
and Joe Benson.
20. JetSmarter’s responses to discovery propounded by Joe Benson in
this matter.
21. Joe Benson’s responses to discovery propounded by Plaintiff in this
matter.
22. JetSmarter’s employee rules that Plaintiff contends were violated by
Joe Benson while he was an employee with JetSmarter, whether part
of an employee handbook, contained in other writings or verbal.
23. Joe Benson’s complete employee file.
24. Any information, whether in writing or not, related to Joe Benson’s
termination from JetSmarter.
25. Any information to support any contentions by Plaintiff that Joe
Benson is working with, earning money from or redirecting former
or current JetSmarter customers to FlyBlade or any other company
that Plaintiff contends is a competitor of JetSmarter.
26. All written agreements between Joe Benson and JetSmarter upon
which JetSmarter is relying in bringing this action against Joe
Benson.
27. All documents brought with you to the deposition in compliance
with Schedule B to the Deposition Notice.

12
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 13 of 227

At her deposition, the Plaintiff confirmed that she was being presented as the Corporate

Representative of JetSmarter, but she had no knowledge as to at least 14 of the 27 requested areas

of inquiry within Benson’s Notice of Taking Deposition. See Exhibit “A” at 5:2-4.

Regarding number 1 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms. Cuevas did

not know who the officers of JetSmarter are or how the departments within JetSmarter are run/

work with each other and/or names of the managers of those departments. See Exhibit “A” at

17:16-22.

Regarding number 2 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms. Cuevas did

not know the name of the system where the database/ “Customer List” is maintained or if the

system allowed a person to download information from it. See Exhibit “A” at 113:9-17.

Regarding number 6 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms. Cuevas did

not know if Benson had a password while he was on the Shuttle Team or the Business

Development Group. See Exhibit “A” at 112:20-22, 117:6-14.

Regarding number 7 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms. Cuevas did

not know the number of individuals on the “Customer List” at the time Benson was terminated.

See Exhibit “A” at 117:24- 118:2.

Regarding number 8 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms. Cuevas did

not know the current number of people on the “Customer List” versus the number of people on the

“Customer List” at the time that Benson was terminated from JetSmarter. See Exhibit “A” at 118:7-

11.

Regarding number 10 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms. Cuevas

did not know how much revenue was generated by JetSmarter at the time Benson left JetSmarter

or whether revenue increased or decreased since Benson left JetSmarter. See Exhibit “A” at 69:21-

13
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 14 of 227

70:8. Further, Ms. Cuevas indicated that she did not know a dollar amount that JetSmarter has lost

as a result of anything Benson may or may not have done following his termination. See Exhibit

“A” at 126:2-7.

Regarding number 11 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms. Cuevas

did not know the number of JetSmarter clients who have terminated their relationship with

JetSmarter as well as those dates of termination. See Exhibit “A” at 58:3-11, 58:17-21, 64:1-16,

66:6-10, 67:16-19.

Regarding number 12 and 18 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms.

Cuevas did not know Benson’s job title when he first started with JetSmarter and did not know the

reason that Benson was moved from Inside Sales to Business Development. See Exhibit “A” at

73:1-4.

Regarding number 15 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms. Cuevas

did not know if JetSmarter had evidence that it has lost any customers as a result of Benson’s

actions following his termination or if JetSmarter had evidence that Benson misappropriated trade

secrets or any support for that claim. See Exhibit “A” at 124:16-125:1. Further, Ms. Cuevas could

not indicate one member that has left JetSmarter, lost trust in JetSmarter, or failed to renew its

membership with JetSmarter as a result of Benson’s alleged actions. See Exhibit “A” at 125:23-

126:2. Finally, Ms. Cuevas did not have knowledge of customer names who are allegedly

concerned about security, which would supposedly prove that Benson knowingly, intentionally,

and unjustifiably utilized JetSmarter’s customer list to induce members to terminate their

relationship with JetSmarter. See Exhibit “A” at 127:2-23.

Regarding number 20 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms. Cuevas

did not know if information was being compiled to respond to Benson’s Request for Production

14
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 15 of 227

that was served on JetSmarter. See Exhibit “A” at 58:12-15.

Regarding number 23 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms. Cuevas

did not know whether the documents provided to Benson was his complete employee file. See

Exhibit “A” at 94:1-4.

Regarding number 24 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms. Cuevas

did not know the reason that Benson was terminated from JetSmarter, did not meet with Benson

before he was terminated from JetSmarter, and was not involved in the termination from

JetSmarter. See Exhibit “A” at 102:2-13.

Regarding number 25 of Schedule “A” of the Notice of Taking Deposition, Ms. Cuevas

did not know what customers complained or reported that Benson contacted or promoted Fly

Blade, Inc. See Exhibit “A” at 117:24- 118:2.

In summary, JetSmarter is bound by the fact that it has no knowledge as to the corporate

structure of JetSmarter, when Benson gained access to the “Customer List,” when Benson lost

access to the “Customer List,” the number of customers/ members who were on the “Customer

List” when Benson was terminated from JetSmarter, the number of customers/ members who are

currently on the “Customer List,” how much revenue was generated by JetSmarter at the time

Benson left JetSmarter or whether revenue increased or decreased since Benson left JetSmarter,

the amount of monetary damages that JetSmarter has suffered, or members that have left

JetSmarter, lost trust in JetSmarter, or failed to renew its membership with JetSmarter as a result

of Benson’s alleged actions.

Further, JetSmarter did not create a corporate representative to provide all necessary and

appropriate information to Benson. Specifically, below is a non-exclusive list of examples:

Ms. Cuevas did not talk to anyone in the Human Resources Department at JetSmarter to

15
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 16 of 227

determine whether any other documents made up Benson’s employee file with JetSmarter and

advised that she could only speak for her department. See Exhibit “A” at 46:24-48:2.

Ms. Cuevas had no knowledge of JetSmarter’s recruiting of Benson and did not discuss

that with anyone at JetSmarter prior to her deposition. See Exhibit “A” at 53:13-54:7.

Ms. Cuevas did not know Benson’s job titles and job duties while employed at JetSmarter.

See Exhibit “A” at 72:22-73:3.

Benson has been prejudiced by Ms. Cuevas lack of knowledge, JetSmarter’s failure to

adequately prepare her, and its inability to obtain testimony from JetSmarter. Therefore, Benson

is requesting that this Honorable Court sanction the Plaintiff for effectively failing to appear at the

May 16, 2018 deposition of its Corporate Representative in the form of Benson’s attorney’s fees

and costs for preparing for the Plaintiff’s Corporate Representative deposition, attending the

Plaintiff’s Corporate Representative deposition, and preparing this Motion.

CONCLUSION

Defendant, Joseph Benson, requests that this Honorable Court lift the preliminary

injunction based upon the evidence presented in this case. JetSmarter has affirmatively

demonstrated that it cannot prevail on the merits of the instant action and that it cannot support its

claims against Benson. Specifically, JetSmarter has no knowledge of when Benson gained access

to the “Customer List,” when Benson lost access to the “Customer List,” the amount of monetary

damages that JetSmarter has suffered, or members that have left JetSmarter, “lost trust” in

JetSmarter, or failed to renew its membership with JetSmarter as a result of Benson’s alleged

actions.

Benson also requests that this Honorable Court sanction the Plaintiff in the form of

Benson’s attorney’s fees and costs for preparing for the Plaintiff’s Corporate Representative

16
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 17 of 227

deposition, attending the Plaintiff’s Corporate Representative deposition, and preparing this

Motion.

CERTIFICATE OF GOOD FAITH

Defendant has in good faith conferred or attempted to confer with the Plaintiff in an effort

to resolve the dispute without court action. Further, this Motion has not been filed to harass, cause

unnecessary delay or needlessly increase the cost of litigation and the instant motion is supported

by the evidence in this case and by Florida law.

Dated this 29th day of June, 2018.

3. Have you heard or do you know about any statement or remark made by or on behalf of any
party to this lawsuit, other than yourself, concerning any issue in this lawsuit? If so, state the
name and address of each person who made the statement or statements, the name and
address of each person who heard it, and the date, time, place, and substance of each
statement.

ANSWER: No.

4. Please state the names and contact information for all persons who have had access to the
Customer List since the first date that a Customer List was first maintained by JetSmarter, the
date that they were provided access to the Customer List and the date that their access was
revoked.

ANSWER: Objection. This Request is overbroad, not sufficiently limited in time, and
not proportional to the needs of the case.

Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objection, Plaintiff maintains its
Customer List on a password-protected system and provides access to the Customer
List to its employees solely on a need-to-know basis. Less than 50% of JetSmarter
employees have such access. Defendant was provided access to JetSmarter’s Customer
List on or about December 2014. JetSmarter revoked Defendant’s access to the
password-protected system and requested Defendant return the information stolen
from JetSmarter’s Customer List upon termination of his employment on June 23,
2017.

5. Please describe, in detail, how the Customer List is [sic] was compiled during the time that
Benson allegedly had access to same and describe in detail in what ways that has changed, if
any, since Benson ceased to have access, including the names and contact information of all
those who have contributed to adding the names, telephone numbers and email addresses to
the Customer List.

ANSWER: Objection. This Request is overbroad, irrelevant, not sufficiently limited in


time, and not proportional to the needs of the case.

Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objection, the information and
preferences of a member or prospective member who registers through JetSmarter’s
mobile application are automatically uploaded into the password-protected system.
JetSmarter employees with access to Console may also input data into the system
internally to facilitate members’ travel experiences, e.g., travel partners, service animal
information, preferred routes, preferred seating, catering preferences, dietary
restrictions, etc.

{R6136395_1}
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 212 of 227

6. Please provide the first date (“start date”) that Benson had access to JetSmarter’s Customer
List and the last date (“end date”) that Benson had access to JetSmarter’s Customer List, as
well as the names of all persons, customers, clients, entities and/or any other entries on the
Customer List on both the proved start date and end date.

ANSWER: See Plaintiff’s Answer to Interrogatory 4 above. Plaintiff objects to the


remainder of this Request as overbroad, unduly burdensome, and not proportional to
the needs of the case. Plaintiff further objects to the remainder of this Request as it is
violative of the privacy rights of persons who are not parties to this action and seeks
proprietary, commercially sensitive, and/or trade secret information.

7. Please state, with specificity, the actions that the Defendant took that lead to
“misappropriation of trade secrets.” Specifically, please explain how he “utilized the
misappropriated information to improperly solicit JetSmarter’s members and otherwise
interfere with JetSmarter’s business relationships,” as alleged in the Complaint.

ANSWER: Defendant retained and utilized information from JetSmarter’s Customer


List to directly contact JetSmarter customers and to invite JetSmarter members to join
several chat rooms relating to private jet services, at least in part for the purpose of
inducing those members to utilize the services of JetSmarter’s competitors, thereby
suggesting that those members cease doing business in whole or in part with
JetSmarter. For example, in the chat room labeled the VVIP’S Chat, Defendant admits
he has “over 4000 members in my phone.” In the New York City/Hamptons Chat,
Defendant expressly suggested to JetSmarter’s members “other options” for private jet
services, including Blade Aviation, posted screen shots of Blade Aviation’s app, and
invited JetSmarter’s members to a Blade marketing event. In the Unicorns Chat,
Defendant admitted that “almost all [1131] members” of the chat room are JetSmarter
members. Moreover, when Defendant has been in contact with JetSmarter members, he
led JetSmarter’s members to believe that he is still employed by JetSmarter.

8. Please state the amount of monetary damages, if any, that You are alleging as a result of the
Defendant’s alleged actions and please state, with specificity, how you arrived at that
amount, including all calculations and a detailed basis supporting those calculations.

ANSWER: The amount of monetary damages resulting from Defendant’s misconduct


is, at present incalculable. Plaintiff has and continues to suffer an inestimable loss of
consumer good will and confidence of present and prospective customers, investors, and
business partners. JetSmarter’s customers have and will question JetSmarter’s custody
of their sensitive personal information and data and JetSmarter’s own data, thereby
damaging JetSmarter’s business relationships with its customers.

9. Please describe, with specificity, how You have been damaged, other than monetary
damages. Specifically, please specifically describe how Your relationships with clients have
been affected based on the Defendant’s alleged actions.

ANSWER: See Plaintiff’s Answer to Interrogatory 8 above.

{R6136395_1}
Case 0:17-cv-62541-FAM Document 58 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/29/2018 Page 213 of 227

10. If you contend that you have lost any clients as a result of Benson’s alleged actions since his
termination, please describe in detail the reason why those clients left JetSmarter, as well as
the names and contact information for those clients.

ANSWER: See Plaintiff’s Answer to Interrogatory 8 above. Plaintiff objects to that


portion of Interrogatory 10 seeking the names and contact information for
JetSmarter’s clients as disclosure of this information is violative of the privacy rights of
such persons who are not parties to this action, and the request seeks proprietary,
commercially sensitive, and/or trade secret information. Without waiving said
objection, JetSmarter clients have complained and threatened not to renew their
memberships over concerns relating to JetSmarter’s security policies due to the release
of their private information such as personal cell phone numbers. JetSmarter clients
have also complained that they learned from Defendant that similar aviation services
were being provided by Fly Blade, Inc. on JetSmarter’s first and most profitable route
(i.e., New York – South Florida).

11. Please describe, with specificity, how the Defendant’s alleged actions caused JetSmarter
clients to terminate their relationship or otherwise cease doing business with JetSmarter, as
alleged in the Complaint, and please state the name and contact information for those clients.

ANSWER: See Plaintiff’s Answer to Interrogatory 8 above.

12. Please state, with specificity, how the Defendant intentionally interfered with business and
contractual relationships, as alleged in the Complaint, and what specific damages resulted
from same.

ANSWER: Defendant retained and utilized JetSmarter’s Customer List to directly


contact JetSmarter customers and to invite JetSmarter members to join several chat
rooms relating to private jet services, for the purpose of inducing those members to
utilize the services of JetSmarter’s competitors, thereby suggesting that those members
cease doing business in whole or in part with JetSmarter. For example, in the chat room
labeled the VVIP’S Chat, Defendant admits he has “over 4000 members in my phone.”
In the New York City/Hamptons Chat, Defendant expressly suggests to JetSmarter’s
members “other options” for private jet services, including Blade Aviation, posts screen
shots of Blade Aviation’s app, and invites JetSmarter’s members to a Blade marketing
event. In the Unicorns Chat, Defendant admits that “almost all [1131] members” of the
