ROLE MODELS AMERICA, INC. v. JIMMIE JONES & NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY, INC.

Civil No. 03-1857

MEMORANDUM Role Models America, Inc. ("RMA" or "Role Models"), the plaintiff in this case, operates a residential, military-style academy for high school dropouts. To fulfill a requirement of a two-year multimillion dollar grant Role Models received from the federal government, RMA hired Social Consultants International ("SCI") in June 2000 to monitor and evaluate the academy's performance during the grant period. During roughly the first year of the grant period, between approximately July 3, 2000 and August 28, 2001,1 one of the defendants, Dr. Jimmie Jones, served as the academy's principal. RMA alleges that Dr. Jones used "proprietary" information, including data compiled by SCI, to complete an Internet-based doctoral program offered by Nova Southeastern University, Inc. ("NSU"), the other defendant in this case. RMA claims that NSU's conduct entitles RMA to damages under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act ("CFAA"), 18 U.S.C.
