Readers Digest Version of Documents 16 and 17 in Konnech v True the Vote, Gregg Phillips & Catherine Englebrecht.
21 Sep 2022 Konnech filed Document 16 /
PLAINTIFF KONNECH, INC.’S MOTION TO SHOW CAUSE AND FOR CONTEMPT AGAINST DEFENDANTS
Plaintiff Konnech, Inc. (“Konnech”) requests that this Court order Defendants True the Vote, Inc., Gregg Phillips, and Catherine Engelbrecht (“Defendants”) and their counsel of record to appear and show cause why they should not be held in contempt for violating the Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) entered by this Court on September 12, 2022, based on the following grounds:
Since this Court granted the TRO nine days ago, Konnech has endeavored, on an almost daily basis, to obtain Defendants’ voluntary compliance with the TRO. Instead of complying, however, Defendants have treated compliance with the TRO like a game of cat and mouse. Initially, Defendants took a blanket position that any Konnech data was obtained by an “independent contractor” and that they never took Konnech data from a “protected computer” and, therefore, the data they had was not covered by the TRO. However, when Konnech corrected Defendants’ fundamental misunderstanding of the term “protected computer”—which, as defined by the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, simply means a computer connected to the internet—Defendants changed their position to claim that any Konnech data that they obtained was from a “third party” who “was not contracted to us or paid by us,” that the data was “turned over to the FBI,” and that they no longer possess any Konnech data. Defendants’ position stands in stark contrast to their repeated public statements that their “guys” and “analysts” helped them to obtain Konnech’s data, and their repeated threats to publicly disclose it even after they said they turned it over to the FBI.
In any event, Defendants now openly admit that they will not comply with subsections v, vi, or vii of the TRO because they turned over to the FBI what they now say they believe, but do not know, was Konnech’s data, and because it is otherwise a “matter for the FBI.” In so doing, Defendants are refusing to identify to Konnech those people involved in allegedly taking Konnech’s data, how, when and where they took it and who else has the data. Instead, Defendants have filed a letter addressed to this Court under seal which purports to identify a single individual (whose identity was hidden from Konnech and the public) that was involved in taking Konnech’s data, even though Defendants' prior statements clearly indicated that multiple people were involved.
Exhibit A:
15 September 2022 Letter (sternly worded) from Plaintiff's Attorney to Defendants' Attorney demanding satisfactory compliance with TRO.
Exhibit B:
16 September 2022 Letter (more sternly worded from Plaintiff's Attorney to Defendants' Attorney further demanding satisfactory compliance with TRO.
Exhibit C:
17 September 2022 Copy Email Chain (even more sternly worded) from Plaintiff's Attorney to Defendants' Attorney demanding immediate response to satisfactory compliance with TRO.
Exhibit D:
14 September Letter 2022 Letter from Defendants' Attorney to Plaintiff's Attorney in response to an unattached email from the Plaintiff's Attorney that was, for the Defendants, their first information that a TRO had been obtained by the Plaintiff. Defendant's attorney details how his clients will comply to the best of their ability and capacity to the requirements of the TRO.
Exhibit E:
15 Sepember Letter 2022 from Defendant's Attorney to Plaintiff's Attorney which is in response to Plaintiff's Attorney 15 December 2022 Letter (Exhibit A) (sternly worded) from Plaintiff's Attorney to Defendants' Attorney demanding satisfactory compliance with TRO. Defendants' Attorney, using polite legal language, informs the Plaintiff's Attorney of the proper method to go suck eggs.

21 September 2022 Konnech filed Document 17 /
PLAINTIFF KONNECH, INC.’S MOTION FOR EMERGENCY CONSIDERATION – WITHOUT A HEARING – OF PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO SHOW CAUSE AND FOR CONTEMPT AGAINST DEFENDANTS
Given the irreparable harm that will result from Defendants’ continued failure to comply with the TRO, Konnech has filed a Motion that Defendants appear and show cause why they should not be held in contempt of the TRO (the “Contempt Motion”). In the Contempt Motion, Konnech requests that—without a hearing—the Court enter an order directing that (i) Defendants and their counsel appear before the Court and show why they should not be held in contempt of the TRO; and (ii) the Clerk immediately make public on the Court’s electronic filing system a fully unredacted copy of Defendants’ September 15, 2022 ex parte letter to the Court.
