`
`MEMORANDUM
`
`ROBERT F. KELLY, Sr. J.
`
`APRIL 1, 2009
`
`Presently before the Court is a Motion for Summary Judgment filed jointly by Plaintiff,
`
`Cintron Beverage Group, LLC (“Cintron”), and Third Party Defendant, A. Wesley Wyatt
`
`(“Wyatt”) (collectively, the “Moving Parties”), against Defendant/Third Party Plaintiff, Rocco
`
`DePersia (“DePersia”). For the reasons set forth below, the Motion will be denied.
`
`1.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`Cintron is a limited liability company that produces and distributes various beverages,
`
`one of which is an energy drink by the name of “Cintron.” On July 25, 2007, Cintron filed a
`
`Complaint in this Court seeking a declaration that DePersia has no ownership interest in Cintron,
`
`and is entitled to no compensation or ownership in the company. On September 13, 2007,
`
`DePersia filed a Motion to Dismiss Cintron’s Complaint for failure to join Wyatt as a necessary
`
`

`
`party. This Court denied the Motion to Dismiss by Order dated October 2, 2007.
`
`On October 30, 2007, DePersia filed a Third Party Complaint against Wyatt, asserting
`
`claims for breach of contract, quantum meruit, and unjust enrichment. In his Complaint,
`
`DePersia alleges that a contract existed between him and Wyatt, whereby the parties jointly
`
`agreed to manufacture and distribute the energy drink, Cintron. DePersia asserts that Wyatt
`
`agreed to share an ownership interest in the company, as well as profits from the sale of the
`
`energy drink with DePersia, in exchange for the use of DePersia’s band’s name and image and
`
`DePersia’s efforts in marketing the business.
`
`On January 4, 2008, the Moving Parties both filed Motions to Strike the Third Party
`
`Complaint and Motions to impose sanctions upon DePersia and his attorneys. The Motions also
`
`asked this Court to issue an injunction enjoining DePersia from filing any further actions against
`
`them without leave of court. By Order dated April 14, 2008, we denied the Motion to Strike the
`
`Third Party Complaint, as well as the Motions for sanctions and for injunctive relief. The
`
`Moving Parties currently seek summary judgment with respect to Cintron’s Complaint against
`
`DePersia and DePersia’s Third Party Complaint against Wyatt.‘
`
`This matter stems from a series of business dealings between DePersia and Wyatt.
`
`DePersia is an attorney licensed to practice in the State of New Jersey. Since 2000, he has also
`
`been the co-leader and lead singer in a local Latin band named Cintron (the “Band”), along with
`
`1DePersia asserts that the Moving Parties seek summary judgment on all his causes of
`action, but have not challenged Count II (Quantum Meruit) and Count III (Unjust Enrichment) in
`their Motion. Consequently, DePersia argues that this Motion should be treated as a Motion for
`Partial Summary Judgment. A review of the Motion reflects that the Moving Parties have not
`challenged these claims, and thus, we shall address it as a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment.
`
`

`
`its co-leader, Edgardo Cintron. DePersia also owns a corporation called Shark Salsa Latin
`
`Productions, Inc. (“Shark Salsa”), which acts as the music production company for the Band, and
`
`books the Band’s business. DePersia and Wyatt first began a business relationship in 2004 when
`
`DePersia sought an investor to finance the recording and promotion of a Latin jazz CD by his
`
`Band. Wyatt invested in the Band and financed the completion and promotion of a CD called
`
`“Back in the Day.” In exchange for his investment, DePersia agreed to share equally with Wyatt
`
`all revenues generated by sales of the CD. This deal was never reduced to writing.
`
`Shortly thereafter, Wyatt expressed an interest in re-branding his off-shore racing boat
`
`that was being sponsored by his company, D.F. Young, Inc. DePersia and Wyatt agreed that
`
`cross
