July 30, 2014 Filing 81 Memorandum of Opinion and Order Viewing Plaintiffs' probative evidence and all reasonable inferences drawn therefrom in the light most favorable to Plaintiffs, Ford's Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. # 42 ) is granted in part and denied in part. To the extent a claim has been made, summary judgment is granted in favor of Ford on the statutory fraud claim of all Plaintiffs based on an affirmative misrepresentation by Ford. Summary judgment is granted in favor of Ford on all express warranty claims of Plaintiffs East Texas Poultry Supply, Jares, Wall, Sondgerath, and Kinch because they failed to give notice of breach as required by statute and judicial decision in Texas, Ohio, and Florida. Because Plaintiffs Anz, Brewer, Ernestburg, and Kinch do not have standing to claim that the express warranty period is unconscionable when they purchased their vehicles used and were not parties to the contract with Ford, summary judgment is granted in favor of Ford. The negligence and implied warranty in tort claims of Plaintiffs Buckeye Management Group and Precast Services are withdrawn. The Court grants summary judgment in favor of Ford on Plaintiffs' diminution of value theory of damages. Summary judgment is granted in favor of Ford on Perko's negligence claim. Finally, summary judgment is granted in favor of Ford on the "diminution in value" claims of Plaintiffs Luke, Garber, Weisberg, and East Texas Poultry Supply. Summary judgment is denied as to all other claims. Judge Benita Y. Pearson on 7/30/2014. (JLG)
