Text: Wesco asserts that the Idaho Stores maintained computers containing confidential customer information and the employees intentionally accessed the computers without authorization from Wesco for the purposes of obtaining, transmitting, and utilizing the confidential customer information for their own gain. A violation of the Computer Fraud Abuse Act occurs when one: (A) knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization, to a protected computer; (B) intentionally accesses a protected computer without authorization, and as a result of such conduct, recklessly causes damage; or (C) intentionally accesses a protected computer without authorization, and as a result of such conduct, causes damage and loss. 18 U.S.C.A. § 1030(a)(5). The district court found that there was undisputed evidence that Cook deleted information from the Wesco computer. The court dismissed all Defendants except Cook, finding that there was a genuine issue of material fact that Cook's conduct (1) violated 18 U.S.C.A. § 1030(a)(5)(A), and (2) impaired the integrity or availability of data or a program causing loss. An order denying a summary judgment is not reviewable. Courtney v. Big O Tires, 139 Idaho 821, 823, 87 P.3d 930, 932 (2003). Therefore, this Court will not review the district court's decision concerning Cook.
