J. Hambrick denies the insurance company's motion for a protective order regarding a "copy of the first Stop Gap coverage form issued to BTI with documents showing the date the form was first used to insure BTI and all variants of that form used thereafter," which relates to the insurance company's complaint that it has no duty to defend or indemnify the employees for when one of the employees suffered injury when unloading a trailer of molten sulfur. The information regarding the stop gap coverage issued to non-party BT Incorporated is relevant and potentially admissible because it can give insight on the parties' intent when they entered into the contract, and the insurance company does not show how allowing this evidence into this case would be unduly burdensome.

J. Skavdahl mostly denies the credit health company's motion to dismiss the financial services company's complaint, which accuses the credit health company of using the financial services company's former employees to compete with and undermine the financial services company's business. The financial services company sufficiently alleges misappropriation of trade secrets under the Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act and the Wyoming Uniform Trade Secrets Act, because it adequately pleads the existence of the trade secrets it owns, that its former employees are contractually bound to keep those secrets, and that the alleged breach of this contract harms the financial services company.
Court: USDC Wyoming, Judge: Skavdahl, Filed On: January 9, 2024, Case #: 1:23cv110, NOS: Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (DTSA) - Property Rights, Categories: Trade Secrets, Contract
J. Freudenthal grants the minerals company summary judgment for the claim regarding the Nine Mile Lease and the adjoining lands in the coal company's lawsuit over the calculation of the advance minimum production royalties of Bridger Coal's mines. The lease that is subject to the claim is not a contiguous lease or contiguous permit, meaning it does not constitute adjoining lands for the purposes of either the minimum production obligation or advance royalty calculation.

J. Skavdahl issues a preliminary injunction barring the school district from precluding its employees from answering or responding truthfully to a parent’s inquiry as to whether their child is being called by a different name or pronoun at school. The district’s policy prohibiting employees from providing, upon inquiry, accurate and complete information to parents about their minor child’s preferential name and gender “burdens a parent’s fundamental right to make decisions concerning the care, custody and education of their child.” However, the preliminary injunction does not extend to the district’s policy directing employees to use a student’s preferred name or pronoun in verbal, written and electronic communications.

J. Freudenthal grants summary judgment to the independent contractor for the employee's claim that his arm was crushed when the independent contractor and its co-defendants negligently lowered a crane centrifuge while the employee was in the catwalk. There is insufficient evidence that the independent contractor had control over the operative details of the crane work, and the employee heavily relies on a written note from the person who operated the crane that the independent contractor and others were the ones truly liable for this incident.
