Mr. Robert Cash 4113 West San Luis Street Tampa, FL 33629 Re: Mr. Ryan Christopher Rodems; RFA No.: 12-15330

Dear Mr. Cash: Your inquiry concerning the above-referenced attorney has been referred to me for my review. After careful consideration, I conclude that the matters referenced in your inquiry do not constitute violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct, and accordingly, your inquiry does not fall within the purview of the grievance system framework. Consequently, I have closed our record in this matter. I must conclude that your complaint constitutes a civil dispute which is best resolved through the civil system. The Supreme Court of Florida has ruled that the disciplinary process and proceedings are not to be used as a substitute for civil proceedings and remedies. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction makes findings in your civil case which suggest misconduct by the attorney, you may re-file your complaint at that time, enclosing the relevant findings. Please be advised that my action does not preclude you from consulting with private counsel, nor does it preclude you from exercising any legal remedy which may be available to you. Pursuant to the Bars records retention schedule, the computer record and file will be disposed of one year from the date of closing. Sincerely,

Theodore P. Littlewood Jr., Bar Counsel Attorney Consumer Assistance Program ACAP Hotline 866-352-0707

To the extent permitted by contract or statute, Defendants claim entitlement to an

award of attorneys' fees from Plaintiff. 57. First Affirmative Defense: The Complaint fails to state a cause of action.

Defendant Rodgers is not a proper party to Count I or II because Plaintiff had a contract with Defendant Medco that governs the relationship between the parties, and therefore Defendant Rodgers is not a proper party as to any disputes raised by Counts I or II. Furthermore, the terms of the contract defeat the claims raised by Plaintiff. 58. Second Affirmative Defense: The agreement alleged in Count II the complaint

was not in writing and signed by either defendant or by some other person authorized by one or more of both Defendants, and therefore the action is barred by the statute of frauds.

Defendant Medco Data, LLC incorporates paragraphs 1 and 3 of Plaintiff s

Plaintiff Robert C. Cash, Jr. was hired as an employee of Defendant Medco Data,

LLC's in July 2009 and was terminated in September 2011. 62. Mr. Cash signed a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement on October 8,

2009. A true and correct copy is attached as Exhibit 1. 63. In February 2011, Plaintiff Robert C. Cash, Jr. attended a medical trade show in

New Orleans, Louisiana as an employee of Medco Data, LLC, and he was expected to provide service as an employee to Medco Data, LLC during trade show hours. He did not. 64. Instead, during the trade show hours, Mr. Cash, Jr. drank alcohol to excess,

visibly appearing intoxicated. 65. Additionally, during the time between February 3-7, 2011, Mr. Cash expended in

excess of $2,200.00 on Medco Data, LLC credit cards, without authorization, in a strip club known as "Rick's Cabaret." 66. Upon learning of this charge, Medco Data, LLC's owner assumed the company's

credit card in Mr. Cash's possession had been stolen, and he contacted Mr. Cash about the matter. 67. Mr. Cash admitted to using the company's credit card, telling the owner there is

an elevator in Rick's Cabaret, and when a patron pays to go upstairs, "anything goes." Mr. Cash admitted to taking the elevator and engaging in "anything goes" at the strip club. 68. Additionally, Mr. Cash told the owner of Medco Data, LLC that the reason Mr.

Cash arrived late at the trade show was because Mr. Cash was "up all night doing coke off a strippers tits."

69.

Medco Data, LLC's owner advised Mr. Cash that his actions were beyond

tolerable, unprofessional, and the expenditures were unauthorized. Medco Data, LLC's owner told Mr. Cash that he "definitely wasn't okay with him using company assets to fund illicit sexual adventures or drugs and that he would need to pay back the money," and that he was sure Mr. Cash's "wife wouldn't be pleased." Mr. Cash said he was "really sorry," that his actions were "something [he was] going to have to live with," and he denied having a drug problem. 70. During the term of his employment, Mr. Cash collected a salary while using

Medco Data, LLC's assets and resources and Confidential Information, as defined in Exhibit 1, to form a business venture which Mr. Cash intended to convert to his own use. Mr. Cash expended thousands of dollars of Medco Data, LLC's money and resources, exploited Confidential Information, as defined in Exhibit 1, and made unauthorized business decisions costing Medco Data, LLC additional expenses and losses of revenue. Specifically, Mr. Cash made commitments to vendors and potential employees without approval of Medco Data, LLC's owner. 71. Upon being confronted when the owner of Medco Data, LLC discovered this

information, Mr. Cash admitted that he was "not happy" working for Medco Data, LLC, and had not been "happy" for quite some time, that his intentions were to start his own company, using the relationships he developed while employed at Medco Data, LLC, and while using its assets and resources, and that he intended to resign and take a number of Medco Data, LLC's clients with him to provide immediate cash flow to fund his venture. COUNTERCLAIM I - CONVERSION 72. 73. Defendant Medco Data, LLC realleges 59-71. During the term of his employment, and on and after February 1,2011, Plaintiff

Robert C. Cash, Jr. converted to his own use money, assets, business opportunities, and Confidential Information, as defined in Exhibit 1, that was then the property of Defendant Medco Data, LLC of a value in excess of $15,000. WHEREFORE, Defendant Medco Data, LLC demands trial by jury, judgment for damages against Plaintiff Robert C. Cash, Jr., interest, costs of this action, and such other and further relief as the Court deems appropriate.

COUNTERCLAIM II- BREACH OF CONTRACT

74. 75. 76. Defendant Medco Data, LLC realleges paragraphs 59-71. All conditions precedent to the maintenance of this action have occurred. Under the contract attached as Exhibit 1, Plaintiff Robert C. Cash had a duty not

to disclose or use for his own benefit Confidential Information, as defined by Exhibit 1. 77. Plaintiff Robert C. Cash breached his contract with Medco Data, LLC by

misappropriating for his own use money, assets, business opportunities, and Confidential Information, as defined in Exhibit 1. 78. Plaintiff Robert C. Cash, Jr. has breached the contract attached as Exhibit 1 by

failing to return all Confidential Information, as defined by Exhibit 1, upon his termination of employment. 79. As a direct result of Plaintiff Robert C. Cash, Jr.'s actions, as alleged herein,

Defendant Medco Data, LLC has suffered damages in excess of $15,000. 80. Defendant Medco Data, LLC is entitled recover from Plaintiff Robert C. Cash, Jr.,

its "complete legal costs" incurred in enforcing the contract attached as Exhibit 1, including attorneys' fees, taxable costs and non-taxable costs. .. WHEREFORE, Defendant Medco Data, LLC demands trial by jury, judgment for

Dear Mr. Cash: Your inquiry concerning the above-referenced attorney has been referred to me for my review. After careful consideration, I conclude that the matters referenced in your inquiry do not constitute violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct, and accordingly, your inquiry does not fall within the purview of the grievance system framework. Consequently, I have closed our record in this matter. I must conclude that your complaint constitutes a civil dispute which is best resolved through the civil system. The Supreme Court of Florida has ruled that the disciplinary process and proceedings are not to be used as a substitute for civil proceedings and remedies. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction makes findings in your civil case which suggest misconduct by the attorney, you may re-file your complaint at that time, enclosing the relevant findings. Please be advised that my action does not preclude you from consulting with private counsel, nor does it preclude you from exercising any legal remedy which may be available to you. Pursuant to the Bars records retention schedule, the computer record and file will be disposed of one year from the date of closing. Sincerely,
