Judge Orders ex-Maximus Employee to Cease and Desist Use of Company Information

U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton for Eastern Virginia in Alexandria ordered defendant Alyssha Holdren to cease and desist any use of her previous employer’s confidential and proprietary information, said his consent order Thursday (docket 1:24-cv-00395) on Maximus’ motion for preliminary injunction. Maximus’ March 12 breach-of-contract complaint alleged Holdren, a former sales director at the company, deleted company data, “sabotaged its systems, and revoked administrator access of other Maximus employees” without authorization (see 2403130044). The parties reached an agreement to resolve a pending motion for a preliminary injunction and extend the terms of a temporary restraining order issued on March 15, said the order. Hilton also ordered Holdren to return to Maximum all company-owned equipment and information and to submit to a forensic examination of any devices containing company information, “or used to store Maximus information,” to allow the company to determine the scope and extent of her actions in connection with Maximum property.
