August 14, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 63 MEMORANDUM ORDER: Adopting in part Report and Recommendations re 45 Report and Recommendations.; granting in part and denying in part 18 Motion for Summary Judgment. The court, having examined Bernsen's Objection to the R&R, and having reviewed the record and made de novo findings with respect to the portion objected to, does hereby adopt and approve the findings and recommendations set forth in Sections A and C(2)-(5) of the R&R, concerning the morality clause in the Agreement and dismissal of Bernsen's unjust enrichment claim. The court does hereby modify the findings and recommendations set forth in Section C(l) of the R&R, concerning a conclusion of law on ILM's potential waiver of its rights under the Agreement, as discussed above. Accordingly, ILM's Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. The court finds as a matter of law that the language of the Agreement includes a morality clause; however, the court declines to find as a matter of law that ILM has not waived its rights under the Agreement, because a material fact remains in dispute, namely ILM's intent to waive. The court DENIES ILM's motion as to Bernsen's alleged breach of the morality clause, because material facts remain in dispute concerning Bernsen's conduct and waiver. Finally, the court GRANTS ILM's motion on Bernsen's claim for unjust enrichment, and DISMISSES that claim. The Clerk is DIRECTED to forward a copy of this Order to counsel for all parties. Signed by District Judge Rebecca Beach Smith and filed on 8/14/12. Copies distributed to all parties 8/15/12. (ldab, )
