Flores v. Haughey CA4/3
The parties to this appeal, appellants Suzanna and Jason Haughey, and respondent Henry Flores, are all involved in the T-shirt industry. The other participants in this dispute also make and sell T-shirts.
There is an empty chair, which should be occupied by one Chad Schoeman. Schoeman has disappeared, leaving a trail of debts and unsatisfied judgments behind him. Flores has a substantial judgment against Schoeman that he has been unsuccessful in collecting from the judgment debtor himself. Flores therefore directed his collection efforts against entities that owed Schoeman money.
The appellants in the present appeal, the Haugheys, became involved in Flores’ collection efforts when they unwisely joined forces with Schoeman in 2011. At that time, the Haugheys incorporated a new business, MM4U, Inc., and engaged Schoeman to sell T-shirts designed by Jason Haughey. In June 2012, Schoeman sold a trademark he owned – Mob Inc. – to MM4U and the Haugheys for $1,500.
