4. Defendant Trans-High is a New York Corporation with its principal place of

5. Defendant Levin is the principal and CEO of Hightimes and Trans-High with an

6. The basis of venue in Passaic County Superior Court is Plaintiff’s office location

7. As set forth in more detail below, the causes of action being asserted against

BACKGROUND FACTS

8. Between approximately February of 2016 and February of 2018, Plaintiff provided

legal services to Hightimes and Trans-High in regard to corporate governance, the sale/purchase

of Trans-High by Hightimes, as well as representing Trans-High in a litigation involving a former

employee.

9. In or around March of 2018, Plaintiff ceased its representation of Hightimes and

Trans-High.

10. As of that time, Hightimes and Trans-High owed Plaintiff $87,088.46 on

outstanding and overdue invoices.

11. On or about February 15, 2018, Levin agreed to execute a Promissory Note on

behalf of Hightimes and Trans-High in the amount of $87,088.46 (the “Payment Amount”). A

true and accurate copy of the Promissory Note is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 4 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 09/11/2019

12. At the time Levin promised to execute the Promissory Note, Levin knew that

neither Hightimes nor Trans-High would make payment to Plaintiff.

13. Levin made this false promise to induce Plaintiff to release the Client Files.

14. Plaintiff reasonably relied upon Levin’s false promise and released the Client Files

to Hightimes and Trans-High.

15. Pursuant to the Promissory note, Hightimes and Trans-High are the “Makers” and

Plaintiff is the “Payee.” See Exhibit A.

16. Hightimes and Trans-High were to make payment to Plaintiff in the amount of

$87,088.46 “by the earlier of (i) June 30, 2018 or (ii) five days after the closing of [Hightimes’]

Initial Public Offering currently scheduled for April 20, 2018” (the “Payment Date”). See Exhibit

A at ¶ 1.

17. The Promissory Note establishes an “Event of Default” if Hightimes and Trans-

High fail to pay Plaintiff the amount of $87,088.46 by the Payment Date. See Exhibit A at ¶ 3(a).

18. Following the Event of Default resulting from Hightimes and Trans-High’s failure

to make payment by June 30, 2018, Plaintiff attempted to contact Levin, on behalf of Hightimes

and Trans-High, on numerous occasions regarding the status of payment.

19. Levin repeatedly promised to satisfy Defendants’ obligations under the Note. A

true and correct copy of this correspondence is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

20. Levin knew these representations were false when made.

21. To date, neither Hightimes nor Trans-High have made any payments whatsoever of

the overdue Payment Amount which remain due and outstanding.

22. Pursuant to the Promissory Note, upon an Event of Default, the entire Payment

Amount is immediately due and owing in addition to a late fee of $5,000.00 and interest at the rate

Josh,
 
We launched the Reg a ( ipo ) last week and the sec asked to review the filing after a
few days.   
 
We’re currently on hold but expect to be cleared sometime this week.   
 
Shortly thereafter, we should be clearing the escrow threshold and the will make
payment.   
 
 
I’d expect by the 15th if July at the latest.  
 
Sorry for any inconvenience.   
 
Thx
