FIDENCIO (“LENCHO”) VILLALOBOS, Plaintiff-Appellee, represented by Matthew P. Holt and Corbin Hildebrandt
vs.
NICHOLAS (“NICK”) VILLALOBOS and VILLALOBOS CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., Defendants-Appellants, represented by Joseph Cervantes and Michael Winchester
Villalobos Construction Co. was established by Defendant-Appellant in 2001. In early 2008 his brother, Fidencio Villalobos, received a fifty percent interest in the company. By late 2008 the Plaintiff and Defendant were discussing terminating their business association. In 2009, Plaintiff filed with the district court in Dona Ana County requesting dissolution of the company and requesting damages based on the alleged misappropriation of corporate assets by Defendant. An existing Buy-Sell Agreement between the brothers, dating from the time they initiated their business association, was not referenced or acted upon by Plaintiff. The Court granted a directed verdict on Plaintiff’s count for misappropriation of corporate assets, established its own valuation of Plaintiff’s stock, and ordered the purchase of the Plaintiff’s shares. Defendant-Appellant requests review of the District Court’s rulings.
