Vasquez partially grants the former executive's motion to dismiss several of the packaging distributor's claims against him in its suit alleging that he misappropriated confidential information around the time of his departure from the company. The company's breach of fiduciary duty and duty of loyalty claims survive insofar as they allege that the executive breached those duties by sending himself information. A claim under the New Jersey Computer Related Offenses Act is dismissed since the company has not sufficiently pled that it was "damaged in business or property" by the alleged misappropriation of information, and a conversion claim is dismissed since the company has not alleged that the president took physical documents or that he deprived the company of the use of its confidential information. Claims under the Defend Trade Secrets Act and the New Jersey Trade Secrets Act survive.
