No interference.

In DeWolff, Boberg & Associates v. Pethick, the the Fifth Circuit held that the plaintiff’s evidence was insufficient to establish a genuine dispute of material fact about tortious interference. The record cited was an email from an employee requesting a copy of a confidential list before leaving for a competitor, along with “the allegedly suspicious timeline of the prospective clients hiring the [competitor] after [the employee] left DB&A .” This was not enough to prove that he actually possessed or used the list to interfere with DB&A’s business.
