Conner of the Middle District of Pennsylvania ruled in favor of Advanced Fluid Systems, entering judgment against defendants Kevin Huber, a former AFS engineer; Thomas Aufiero, a former AFS sales manager; Livingston & Haven, a designer and manufacturer of hydraulic fluid systems headquartered in North Carolina; and Clifton B. Vann IV, CEO of Livingston’s holding company.
