Resp. Party: Plaintiff Astra Pacific Outdoor, LLC

Defendant Ray Sipperley’s motion to set aside default judgment is GRANTED.

Plaintiff Astra Pacific Outdoor, LLC’s request for judicial notice is GRANTED as to Exhibits B and C and DENIED as to Exhibit A.

BACKGROUND:

Plaintiff Astra Pacific Outdoor, LLC (“Astra”) commenced this action against Defendant Raymond Sipperley (“Sipperley” or “Defendant”) on May 25, 2018 by filing a complaint for (1) declaratory judgment; (2) breach of partnership agreement; and (3) breach of fiduciary duty. The action stems from a partnership agreement between Astra and Sipperley, where Sipperley allegedly breached the partnership agreement and caused Astra harm. Astra also asserts that a New York action filed against Astra by Sipperley for a breach of a buy-out agreement should be void, invalid, and unenforceable and should be vacated and set aside.
