The Underlying Lawsuit
6. On October 5, 2017, Plaintiff sued Defendants for alleged violations of the Open
Meetings Act, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, and sought injunctive
relief. Plaintiff did not sue Intervenor.
7. On October 5, 2017, Plaintiff obtained a Temporary Restraining Order in this
Court. The order specifically prohibits any Defendant from paying Intervenor,
even though Intervenor is not a party to this lawsuit. It appears bond was never
filed, so the TRO is not in effect.
8. On September 10, 2017, the Pines Condominium Association, Inc. (the
“Association”), through its president, Emile Nassar, entered into a contract with
Intervenor to provide containers and cleanup of the entire condominium complex
after the devastation of Hurricane Harvey. Intervenor was one of many
companies to bid on the services for this work.
9. Intervenor provided all work at the agreed upon prices, but the Association was
unable to pay its final payment due to this lawsuit. It appears that Plaintiff
claims that one of the owners of Intervenor is a board member’s son. This claim
is completely fictitious. Intervenor’s owner Matthew Moody is not related to any
board member, resident, or owner of the Pines Condominiums. Intervenor never
heard of Pines Condominium until a few days before the Association entered into
the contract with Intervenor.
10. This job was a large-scale cleanup for more than 250 units, for which Intervenor
provided many hours, labor and equipment. Intervenor was very efficient and

timely and had no complaints regarding Intervenor’s job performance.
Intervenor knows nothing of any claims regarding meetings or removal of board
members. Plaintiff has involved Intervenor in his fight with Defendants, and has
prevented Defendants from paying Intervenor the final $319,725.00, that is owed.
Tortious Interference with Existing Contract
11. Defendant and Intervenor had a valid contract. Plaintiff willfully and
intentionally interfered with the contract, which proximately caused Intervenor’s
injury.
12. Intervenor seeks actual damages, exemplary damages, interest, and court cost, and
attorney fees.
Request for Disclosure
To: Plaintiffs by and through their attorney of record, Robert C. E. Wolfe, via e-file.
Pursuant to Rule 194, you are requested to disclose, within 30 days of service of this request, the
information or material described in Rule 194.2.
Prayer
Action Premier Hauling, Inc., Intervenor, prays that, upon final hearing, the Court grant
the relief set forth above, award actual damages far in excess of this Court’s minimum
jurisdictional amount, award court costs, interest, exemplary damages, and attorney fees as set
forth above, and grant such other relief to which Action Premier Hauling, Inc. may show itself
entitled.
