Fred Naggar vs. Rock & Republic / Michael Ball
NATURE OF ACTION
1. This action arises from the wrongful and intentional acts of both
corporate defendant Rock & Republic Enterprises, Inc. ("Rock &
Republic"😉, a manufacturer of designer denim jeans and apparel, and
its CEO, founder and head designer, Michael Ball, a/k/a Michael F.
Ball ("Ball"😉.
2. Despite the overwhelming success and revenue plaintiff Fred Naggar
("Naggar"😉 brought to and generated for the defendants, turning what
was a fledgling jean company into a fashion empire, Rock & Republic
and Michael Ball deliberately and without reason, refused to pay
Naggar substantial monies owed, effectively ostracized him, and forced
him to resign.
3. Defendants then publicly humiliated Naggar by having him escorted
from their offices by security, while summarily and illegally evicting
him from his own home by having the locks on his door changed and by
retaining his personal property. Such acts of humiliation and
intimidation were immediately followed by the filing of a frivolous
lawsuit against Naggar's related company, that had also generated
millions for Rock & Republic.
4. In furtherance of a pattern and practice of intimidation directed
at both Naggar's person and profession, in May 2007, defendant Michael
Ball, without provocation or warning, then violently assaulted Naggar
physically and verbally, in a well-known, popular nightclub intending
to and causing physical harm and embarrassment before a crowd of
onlookers and business associates. Plaintiffs bring this action to
recover damages resulting from the aforesaid intentional and wrongful
acts and omissions of the defendants.
2.) New information was filed today in the Klinko vs. Rock & Republic
case. A Memorandum of Law was filed supporting the case. In
addition, documents were filed with the court about Ball's violent and
criminal past, arrest and sentencing records and use of false social
security numbers. An excerpt follows and the document is attached.
Excerpts from Klinko vs. Rock & Republic / Michael Ball
Introduced to the court 6/15/2007
23. In fact, as plead in the Complaint, prior to Michael Ball's
threats and extortion against me, I was well aware of his violent
behavior, criminal history and psychological instability, as revealed
to me by Ms. Fernanda Romero. Compl., paras. 23-25. Such a history
and predisposition has been corroborated by numerous witnesses,
further substantiating my fear and apprehension regarding his threats,
as well as his motivation to silence my knowledge of the same.
Attached as Exhibit "C" is the Affidavit of Cynthia Pinot ("Pinot
Aff."😉, which was also submitted in opposition to defendants' motion
to strike. The car chase and brutal assault by Michael Ball against
Ms. Fernanda Romero, detailed in the Pinot Affidavit, has been further
corroborated by both Alex DeFelipe and Pascal Azoulay, the gentlemen
who were also assaulted and chased by Ball through the streets of Los
Angeles. Both DeFelipe and Azoulay have also corroborated Ball's
pattern of intimidation against those that would expose such criminal
conduct.
24. In addition to the above, our ongoing investigation has also
corroborated various allegations made in the Complaint pertaining to
defendant Michael Ball's motive to threaten and extort plaintiffs,
such as my knowledge of criminal activities, acts of violence, court
ordered psychiatric treatment, Ball's own use of a false social
security number (which he presented to police upon his arrest and
sentencing in the matter attached), and evidence that at least three
different social security numbers were used by Fernanda Romero,
corroborating both Romero's and Ball's admission that Ball assisted in
obtaining the same. Two examples of the above are attached hereto as
Exhibit "D" (arrest and sentencing report; Solis v. Ford, L.A.
Superior Court, Case No. BC 228258).
