Among the assets acquired were the physical location of the facility, its contents, and the name Recovery Happens. 19 6. 20 Facebook: 21 On November 17, 2020, defendant Chanter posted the following statement on I am beginning a new chapter. . . We are so excited to share the news that Sierra Health and Wellness, purchased Recovery Happens. Jon Daily’s legacy will continue as they will keep all of their intensive outpatient program with the name Recovery Happens and his model of care. I am honored to join Sierra Health and Wellness as their senior clinical director. I will continue to hold clinical leadership with Recovery Happens as well as New Start Recovery Solutions and future clinical program acquisitions.

Jon. 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 In 2017, Daily passed away, and his wife, defendant Chanter, took over defendant RHCS and maintained the same primary business address in Fair Oaks. 17 18 Prior to 2017, Jon Daily operated defendant RHCS in the same building as plaintiffs in Fair Oaks. 15 16 Plaintiffs and the Sierra Defendants provide, among other things, drug and alcohol treatment services to individuals. 13 14 UNDISPUTED FACTS 1. 11 12 JURY ///// 2 1 2 7. its website, www.sierrahealthandwellnesscenter.com: 3 Jon Daily LCSW, CADAAC II founded the Recovery Happens Counseling Services outpatient programs. He was passionate about helping others break free from chemical dependency . . ’ [sic] and their addiction to intoxication His [sic] dedication to this cause was rooted from his own early addiction. Jon’s addiction led to time in California Youth Authorities, group home placements, and destructive relational patterns. 4 5 6 7 Jon was in recovery for over 20 years. He committed himself to helping others reach the same success. Over 10 years ago he opened Recovery Happens Counseling Services. It was an outpatient drug and substance abuse treatment center, specializing in both adolescent and adult treatment. 8 9 Jon’s advocacy in the Sacramento community, as well as policy work, has brought him to the front lines of his work in the recovery community. He was the recipient of many awards including: Harold Cole Award, Miracle Award, Sacramento Valley Psychological Association Community Award, The Piece of the Puzzle Award, and the CCAPP VIP Award. 10 11 12 13 Jon Daily became an avid student of the neurobiological processes in the brain associated with addiction as a result of his own recovery from adolescent addiction. 14 15 “Addiction is a pathological relationship to intoxication.” 16 Based on neurobiology, this statement is a foundational tenet of Jon’s addiction recovery philosophy. 17 18 He believed that people do not become addicted to a particular drug. He believed that individuals become addicted to intoxication as a way of dealing with life issues. If you remove the drug—the individual who is still addicted to intoxication will find another way to get high. For example, by using another substance or activity such as sex or gambling. 19 20 21 Sierra Health and Wellness Centers and New Start Recovery Solutions are proud and excited to be able to offer the compassionate, insightful, and whole person outpatient addiction treatment philosophy founded by Jon Daily. 22 23 24 On or around November 17, 2020, the Sierra defendants posted the following on IV. 25 DISPUTED FACTUAL ISSUES 1.

Whether the entity defendants are an outpatient drug and alcohol treatment facility duly licensed by the Department of Health Care and Services (“DHCS”). 3 3. Whether the entity defendants are required by DHCS to maintain the American 4 Society of Addiction Medicine treatment criteria, or an equivalent evidence-based standard, with 5 respect to the level of care provided to participants in their program. 6 4. Whether the entity defendants utilize an evidence-based treatment model and do 7 not, in any manner or form, utilize the so-called “Gust Model” in providing their rehabilitation 8 services. 9 5. 10 Whether the “Gust Model” is not evidence-based, but is rather a holistic treatment philosophy. 11 6. Whether the entity defendants would be required to substantially lower their 12 standard of care, thereby rendering their programs non-compliant with DHCS regulations, in 13 order to follow the “Gust Model.” 14 15 7. Whether Jon Daily and plaintiff Gust are not closely associated in the minds of the public in Northern California. 16 8. Whether there is an expectation amongst treatment professionals that the rigorous 17 procedures described by plaintiff Gust for his model would be followed, particularly amongst the 18 Sierra defendants. 19 V.

VII. RELIEF SOUGHT 4 1. 5 infringement. 6 2. 7 VIII. 8 Plaintiffs seek injunctive relief to stop alleged false advertising and copyright Plaintiffs seek damages including lost profits and statutory damages.

The elements of, standards for, and burden of proof in an affirmative defense that 21 plaintiffs by their acts and/or omissions have authorized and encouraged the acts 22 and/or omissions of defendants as described in the first amended complaint 23 (“FAC”), and have therefore waived the right to seek equitable relief and/or 24 damages as a result of said alleged acts and/or omissions, barring any recovery by 25 plaintiffs. 26 27 28 Defendant Chanter has not filed an answer to plaintiffs’ first amended complaint on the docket of this case. Accordingly, the court deems defendant Chanter’s answer to plaintiffs’ original complaint to be considered defendant Chanter’s answer to plaintiffs’ first amended complaint, as discussed at the pretrial conference and in the court’s tentative pretrial order. 5 1 1 6. The elements of, standards for, and burden of proof in an affirmative defense that 2 plaintiffs by their acts and/or omissions induced defendants to act to their 3 detriment thereon and are, therefore, barred by the doctrine of estoppel from 4 asserting any claim set forth in the FAC. 5 7. The elements of, standards for, and burden of proof in an affirmative defense that 6 plaintiffs have unreasonably delayed in the assertion of rights set forth in the FAC, 7 and therefore are barred from asserting any claim set forth in the FAC by the 8 doctrine of laches. 9 8. The elements of, standards for, and burden of proof in an affirmative defense that 10 any recovery of damages by plaintiffs is barred, in whole or in part, by the 11 applicable statutes of limitations including, without limitation, as set forth in 17 12 U.S.C. § 507, and as set forth in California Civil Code §§ 337–39. 13 9. The elements of, standards for, and burden of proof in an affirmative defense that plaintiffs’ claims are barred by the fair use doctrine set forth in 17 U.S.C § 107. 14 15 10. The elements of, standards for, and burden of proof in an affirmative defense that 16 the acts and/or omissions of defendants as alleged in the FAC, constituted innocent 17 non-infringing conduct, and was not a willful infringement of copyright. 18 11. The elements of, standards for, and burden of proof in an affirmative defense that 19 plaintiffs have engaged in one or more acts that constitute a misuse of their 20 copyrights including but not limited to having wrongfully attempted to extend the 21 scope of the limited monopoly granted by the Copyright Act. 22 12. 23 The elements of, standards for, and burden of proof in an affirmative defense that plaintiffs have abandoned or forfeited the copyright(s) described in the FAC. 24 13. The elements of, standards for, and burden of proof in an affirmative defense that 25 plaintiffs cannot assert a copyright in some or all of the materials described in the 26 FAC including but not limited to ideas, descriptive phrases, concepts, principles, 27 or discoveries. 28 ///// 6 1 14.

The elements of, standards for, and burden of proof in an affirmative defense that 16 plaintiffs fail to allege facts constituting a justiciable controversy, because 17 plaintiffs can allege and prove no actual harm caused by the conduct described in 18 the FAC, thus depriving plaintiffs of standing to sue under Article III of the United 19 States Constitution. 20 18. The elements of, standards for, and burden of proof in an affirmative defense that 21 plaintiffs, being of substantially equal economic strength as defendants, have by 22 their acts and/or omissions, engaged in wrongful conduct not compelled by 23 economic pressure, making them at least equally responsible for the harms set 24 forth in the FAC, if any, barring the recovery of damages or the granting of 25 equitable relief by the doctrine of unclean hands. 26 19. plaintiffs’ allegations in their FAC cannot sustain the relief requested inasmuch as 27 28 The elements of, standards for, and burden of proof in an affirmative defense that ///// 7 1 plaintiffs initiated, welcomed, consented to, and/or voluntarily participated in all or 2 some of the acts alleged in the FAC. 3 20.

At the pretrial conference held on December 3, 2024, the court instructed the parties to meet and confer to ensure that exhibits were not listed more than once. This instruction was repeated in the tentative pretrial order. (See Doc. No. 35 at 7.) Plaintiffs filed a purported joint exhibit list in their objections to the tentative pretrial order. (Doc. No. 37 at 3–5.) It is unclear whether defendant Chanter participated in any similar meet and confer efforts with the other parties. (See Doc. No. 38 at 3) (“Counsel and plaintiff and counsel for Sierra defendants met and conferred for the purposes of designating joint exhibits.”). However, defendant Chanter has not filed any objections to the tentative pretrial order. Nor has she filed any response to the objections filed by plaintiffs and the entity defendants. Accordingly, the court will designate the exhibits supplied by plaintiffs as a joint exhibit list. 14 1 Recoveryhappenscounselingservices.com newstartrecoverysolutions.com 2 d. 2024 Sierrahealthwellnesscenters.com and 3 Recoveryhappenscounselingservices.com and 4 newstartrecoverysolutions.com 5 e.
