On March 22, 2024, Greenmount filed a motion for preliminary injunction which requested a court order to prohibit any future marketing or selling of Flavorade on the basis that Cleanline and Coburn have purportedly used Greenmount’s trade secrets. The Court then held a hearing on June 27, 2024, in which it heard further evidence and argument from the parties and took the matter under submission for further consideration. 


On September 18, 2024, the Court issued a ruling completely in favor of Cleanline, Nick Coburn in which it denied Greenmount’s motion for preliminary injunction in full. In reviewing Greenmount’s request for a preliminary injunction, the Court was able to review all of the evidence submitted by all parties. (Court Order at 2, fn. 1.) Based on its review of the evidence and the arguments put forth by all parties, the Court found that, “based on the evidentiary record,” Greenmount “is unlikely to succeed on the merits” of all five of its claims. (Court Order at 16, 25, 27-28.) Specifically, in reaching its ruling, the Court credited the testimony and evidence provided by Cleanline and Coburn, and did not credit any of the testimony put forth by Greenmount.

The Cleanline/Flavorade team continues to categorically deny all of Greenmount’s allegations. While the litigation is not over, we are confident, particularly in light of the Court’s recent ruling, that Flavorade will continue to be vindicated against the false allegations made by Greenmount. Flavorade has always been committed to ethical business practices and prioritized innovation, integrity, and fair competition within the cannabis industry. We have never done otherwise.

 

We remain focused on delivering exceptional cannabis vape carts under the Flavorade brand and maintaining the trust of the cannabis enthusiast community.

On December 14, 2023, Greenmount LLC d/b/a ColdFire, filed a federal lawsuit seeking to stop Nicholas Coburn and Cleanline Management from continuing to offer our Flavorade line of cannabis vaping products to the California market. 

 

On December 30, 2024, both Cleanline Management and Nick Coburn filed motions for judgment on the pleadings which requested a court order to dismiss all claims alleged by Greenmount against Cleanline Management and Nick Coburn on the basis that Greenmount’s Second Amended Complaint failed to state any valid claims.

 

On February 3, 2025, Greenmount opposed our motion and also filed its own motion to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit in order to refile the same claims in California state court. We vigorously opposed Greenmount’s motion, submitting arguments to the Court that Greenmount’s claims were entirely baseless, and that Greenmount only sought to refile its claims in state court as a means of avoiding an adverse ruling on our motions for judgment on the pleadings.

 

We are pleased to announce that on April 11, 2025, the Court issued a ruling completely in our favor in which it granted our motions for judgment on the pleadings in full and denied Greenmount’s motion for voluntary dismissal without prejudice. In reaching its decision, the Court found that Greenmount’s “blatant tactical maneuvering shall not stand,” Order at 5, and denied Greenmount’s request to amend its complaint, finding that Greenmount “waited nearly five months to request leave to amend and even then, only because of Defendants’ MJOP.” Order at 11. The Court further held that Greenmount “seeks voluntary dismissal for improper purposes,” (Order at 13), and that “[i]t is clear that in moving for voluntary dismissal, Plaintiff seeks to avoid an adverse ruling and excuse its dilatoriness,” (Order at 14).
