J. Seabright refuses to dismiss part of a fired employee’s complaint against state deputy attorneys general for informing his Japanese employer about his previous litigation history. One of these attorneys general does not have qualified immunity as there is evidence of the deputy attorney general contacting his former employer. There is also evidence of malice and that she would have known about the employee’s employment contract at the Japanese company. Emotional distress claims are dismissed, however, as the act was not “outrageous.”

J. Hanks finds that neither claimant in a transportation dispute involving produce loads delivered crushed or at the incorrect temperature has met requirements to recover damages. The transporter of the produce claimed that defendant had discriminated against him based on his race and interfered with another contract after the damaged produce incident, but the discrimination claims are insufficient, and the transporter has not provided verification of the contract. The supplier claims damages from lost produce loads but fails to prove that the damaged produce was the result of the transporter’s negligence.

J. Barbadoro denies two brothers’ motion for summary judgment against their former employer, who is suing them after they retained its confidential information, solicited its clients and competed against it. While the brothers claim the non-compete and non-solicitation provisions of their employment agreements are unreasonable and therefore unenforceable, they are, in fact, enforceable.

J. Ludwig grants the technology services company's motion to dismiss three counts in the former employee's lawsuit in part claiming unpaid commissions and bonuses since her termination by the company in 2021. The employee's civil theft claim is improperly pleaded under a statute that does not apply to the alleged retention of her commissions and bonuses, and her tortious interference with contract and unjust enrichment claims cannot survive because they involve a "required" party that "cannot be feasibly joined" to the lawsuit.

J. McGrath finds that the trial court properly denied the employment claims filed by the former executive director of the Flathead Basin Commission. The Department of Natural Resources and Conservation could not have interfered with her employment contract since, though it shared staffing decisions with the Commission, it was her employer. Her discrimination claim failed because the lobbying she did on behalf of the Commission that created distrust with the Department was not protected political speech. And her firing was based on her inability to properly complete expense reports. Affirmed.

J. Herrera grants the general contractor's motion to dismiss, ruling no evidence in the complaint links it to the supervisor who refused to allow the disabled employee of the subcontractor to bring his service animal on the jobsite. Therefore, it cannot be held liable for the subcontractor's decision to fire the employee. Additionally, there is no evidence the general contractor knew of any contractual relationship between the employee and the subcontractor, and so the interference with a contract claim fails, as well.

J. Jenkins partially grants an engineering consulting firm's motion for summary judgment, and denies its former employee's cross-motion for summary judgment, on the firm's claims that the former employee violated his employment contract. The court finds the former employee did violate his non-compete agreement with the firm when he jumped ship to work for one of the firm's competitors, but denies the firm judgment on the issues of causation and damages.

J. Russell grants the hospital defendants' dismissal motion and dismisses the former employee's claims for defamation, tortious interference with a contract or business relationship, and tortious interference with a prospective economic business advantage. The former employee's defamation claim is based in part on a statement allegedly contained within a patient's medical record, specifically regarding an ordered dosage of morphine. It is not clear, however, if a third party would understand that the alleged statement referred to the employee "as the one who gave the verbal order." Even so, she fails to adequately plead special damages.
