COMES NOW, Counsel for the Plaintiff, LTA LOGISTICS, INC and LESTER

TRIMINO, by and through undersigned counsel and files this Pre-Trial Catalog and

states the following:

THE FACTS OF THE CASE

LTA is Transportation and Logistics Company that offers solutions and solves

issues that might arise before and during the transportation of any heavy load. LTA

specializes in handling full load freight from any point in the United States and Canada.

LTA utilizes carriers that are dependable and use high quality equipment. LTA

specializes in the transportation of heavy construction equipment such as hydraulic

excavators, draglines, drills, roof bolters, rock dusters and wheel loaders to name a few.

LTA has a practice, policy and procedure prior to employing any person for

employment to have the individual sign a non-disclosure and non-solicitation agreement

with the prospective employee. The non-disclosure and non-solicitation agreement

specifically requires that the prospective employee agree that they are not to solicit any

customers of LTA to terminate its relationship with LTA for a period of two years from

the date that the employee terminates his relationship with LTA.

According to the Plaintiffs the defendant in this action signed the Non-disclosure

and Non solicitation agreement on June 9, 2009. Sometime thereafter the employment

relationship between LTA and the defendant terminated. Subsequent to the termination

of the defendant's employment relationship with the Plaintiffs, the defendant began to

work with Landstar Transportation. This company is in the same field as LTA Logistics.

Given the fact that all the parties work in the same field, it came to the attention of LTA

that the defendant's name was on a load from a previous customer of LTA. According to

LTA this was in direct violation of the Non solicitation agreement. LTA then contacted

Landstar to inform them of the previous non solicitation agreement. The defendant was

then apparently terminated from his employment with Landstar. Te Defendant in this

action disputes that he signed the non disclosure and non solicitation agreement.

The Plaintiffs in, this cause of action advertise on the internet and receives many

of their customers from such advertising. In addition, they keep many of their currentSB-

customers through advertising on the int-ernet. After Landstar was contacted by LTA and•

was informed oi" the non-solicitation agreement, the defendant subsequently began ani -

attack campaign on the internet to discredit LTA and specifically Lester Trimino. Lester

Trimino is the President of LTA. The Plaintiffs in this cause of action spent countless

man hours addressing this attack campaign to limit the effect that it could cause on the

business. In addition, the Plaintiffs in this cause of action, retained the services of

National Positions USA to effectively deal with the with the internet attack campaign.

Page 3: 21. LTA LOGISTICS vs Enrique Varona (LTA Pre-Trial Cataloge)

National Positions USA was hired by LTA to specifically address this internet attack

campaign.

It was as a result of this internet attack campaign that this action was initiated by

the Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs in this action filed a request for an injunction to stop the

attack campaign by the defendant and filed an additional cause of action alleging tortious

interference.

The defendant in this action then counterclaimed for tortious interference of a

business relationship along with additional causes of action.
