Eric Macey and Richard Miller, obtained another victory for Synapse Group, Inc. In March 2004, they prevailed on two summary judgment motions brought on behalf of two affiliates of Synapse Group, Inc. In a Memorandum Opinion, the Federal Court in Illinois granted summary judgment to Synapse on its claim, and the Court also ruled in favor of Synapse on the counterclaim of defendant, Heartland Direct, Inc. After that ruling, Heartland and its President sought to avoid liability by filing for bankruptcy. When being questioned in the bankruptcy case, Heartland’s President refused to answer deposition questions regarding his various corporations and assets. Then, Macey and Miller joined forces with another creditor, Vertrue Incorporated, to seek an order compelling Heartland’s President, as well as his business enterprises and family members, to provide the requested information. In November 2004, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois ruled in favor of Synapse and Vertrue on their motion. Most recently, the President of Heartland sought the dismissal of Synapse’s Adversary Complaint which opposes discharge of his debt in bankruptcy. On April 18, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court issued a written Memorandum Opinion and Order, denying the motion to dismiss.
