In an April 2005 issue of the Baltimore Business Journal
(http://www.bizjournals.com/baltimore/stories/2005/04/11/story5.html),
there was news of a lawsuit filed by Travelhost Magazine against a
former associate publisher for breach of a non-compete clause.

The article goes on the say that there was a lawsuit filed by several
former local associate publishers of Travelhost in other states:

"Barton, along with other former associate publishers from nine other
states, filed a separate lawsuit in Dallas County District Court
earlier this year against Travelhost, alleging the publisher mislead
local franchises, court documents show."

I would like to find out the outcome of this suit, and also find out
how to get transcripts of proceedings, if possible.

Thank you,

Sherman Leibow
