Montgomery v. eTreppid Montgomery et al v. eTreppid et al, No. 3:06-cv-00056-PMP-VPC (D. Nev., filed Jan. 31, 2006) (RECAP).

Motions seeking additional findings of perjury were left unresolved when the case settled and was dismissed. The timeline includes details of these proceedings beginning Jan. 31, 2006. Resolution: In September, 2009 -- shortly after (a) two "show cause" hearings as to why Montgomery should not be held in contempt for (i) failing to produce documents and (ii) failing to produce the source code (a failure for which terminating sanctions were being sought) and and (b) an evidentiary hearing regarding his claims of impropriety by the FBI in connection with the seizure and return of his materials (in which he failed to appear) -- Montgomery and co-defendants) agreed to pay $20,000,000 to settle eTreppid's claims and $5,000,000 to settle Trepp's claims (based on statements Montgomery made about Trepp).

Search Case (FBI Search & Seizure) In the Matter of the Search of 12720 Buckthorne Lane, No. 3:06-cv-00263-PMP-VPC (D. Nev., opened Feb. 28, 2006) (RECAP). Summary: After an Air Force Investigation and an FBI investigation, the FBI obtained sealed search warrants on Feb. 26 and Mar. 3, 2006 on the basis that (a) Montgomery had stolen eTreppid property and improperly removed classified/national defense information. Thereafter, Montgomery filed a series of motions seeking to have the search warrants unsealed and return of his property, asserting that Montgomery had not taken any eTreppid property; nor had he improperly taken any classified information. This case was rather inextricably intertwined with the two pending civil cases – eTreppid v. Montgomery and Montgomery v. eTreppid. The timeline includes details of these proceedings beginning Feb. 28, 2006. Resolution: On Nov. 28, 2006, the Magistrate Judge ordered the affidavits unsealed and the property returned to Montgomery. In so holding, the Court found (in part) that the United States had failed to no make any “showing whatsoever that probable cause still exists to justify keeping the seized material based on [probable cause that Montgomery violated 18 U.S.C. § 793( e ), unlawful retention of national defense information].” Nor did the United States “demonstrate that probable cause exists to justify the issuance of the search warrants in this case based on a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1832, theft of trade secrets.” (Conclusion, Opinion at 31-32.) The District Court affirmed this order on Mar. 19, 2007. In so doing, it specifically held that any seized property, the ownership of which was disputed by the parties in the Montgomery v. eTreppid litigation remains subject to the Preliminary Injunction entered on Feb. 8, 2006. (Order at 15.) In other words, while the property taken from Montgomery must be returned to him, proper ownership of that property was not resolved and remained very much in dispute (despite Montgomery’s 2015 contentions that the Court found that the property belonged to Montgomery). |

Montgomery v. IRS In re Dennis L. Montgomery & Brenda K. Montgomery, No. 009008-09 (U.S. Tax Court, filed Apr. 4, 2009) (Docket). Summary: This matter was filed before Montgomery’s June 2009 bankruptcy, then stayed in light of the bankruptcy Sept. 10, 2014. Montgomery's Bankruptcy schedules indicated IRS claims of $ 203,000 (2005-06 Tax Year); $ 127,406 (2007 Tax Year); and $ 213,457 (2008 Tax Year). While the petition is not publicly available, it appears from available documents that Montgomery seeks relief from tax liability on the basis that his tax documents were “seized and in part destroyed by criminal investigators acting under an improvidently granted warrant.” If so, such a claim would appear to be in direct violation of the stipulation Montgomery entered into with the FBI on Oct. 2, 2008 – after an evidentiary hearing arising from similar claims made by Montgomery. The timeline includes some procedural details of these proceedings; additional details of these proceedings are currently under construction and will be added to the timeline soon.
