On Monday a case was filed in the District of Colorado by R2 Medical Clinic, PC against Daniel Lann, Denver Stretch Institute d/b/a Denver Sports Recovery, Katie McConnell, David Raday Jr. and Optimization Clinic LLC. The case is regarding theft of trade secrets, interference with business relationship and other business claims.

After a conversation regarding future scheduling, the plaintiff argues that the plaintiffs established a new relationship with competitor clinics. The plaintiff accuses the defendants of deliberately stealing patient data, scheduling follow up appointments on behalf of the patients with their new employers, as well as performing unsupervised medical procedures without the supervision of plaintiffs medical doctor.

Plaintiff is suing for violation of the stored communications act, theft of trade secrets, and tortious interference with contract and business expectancy. Plaintiff is represented by Campbell Litigation PC.
