In Sanmina v. Dialight, Judge Failla granted partial summary judgment on willful misconduct but denied it on fraudulent inducement and accounts receivable.
Sanmina Corporation and Dialight PLC, whose claims were addressed by the partial summary-judgment ruling.
What happened
Sanmina Corporation moved for partial summary judgment against Dialight PLC’s claims for fraudulent inducement and willful misconduct, and on Sanmina’s own breach-of-contract claim concerning certain accounts receivable.
The court granted Sanmina’s motion as to Dialight’s willful misconduct claim. It denied the motion as to Dialight’s fraudulent inducement claim and Sanmina’s accounts receivable claim, so those claims were not resolved by this order.
Judge Katherine Polk Failla also directed the parties to propose redactions to the sealed opinion and stated that a redacted version would be filed publicly. The order was filed in both related cases and terminated the pending motions.

Background
The caption lists two related cases involving Sanmina Corporation and Dialight PLC. Sanmina moved for partial summary judgment, which is a request for judgment on particular claims without a trial. The motion concerned three claims: Dialight’s tort claims for fraudulent inducement and willful misconduct, and Sanmina’s breach-of-contract claim concerning certain accounts receivable.
Rulings on the Claims
The court granted Sanmina’s motion as to Dialight’s willful misconduct claim. The court denied Sanmina’s motion as to Dialight’s fraudulent inducement claim and Sanmina’s own accounts receivable claim.
