Unknown or whose identity needs to be kept confidential for some reason.

How do you know this?

In any case, it is possible that there is no actual name associated with "Roe." The point I was trying to make is that as long as DL is in litigation with Brown and claiming trade secrets were stolen when that group left Intellasys and started GreenArrays, he has to keep that allegation open. If DL totally dismissed his cross-complaint against GreenArrays, how could he continue to claim it elsewhere against Brown?
