IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOLECTRON TECHNOLOGY

SINGAPORE PTE. LTD.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

SMART MODULAR TECHNOLOGIES,

INC.,

Defendant.

 /

No. C 06-02575 CRB

ORDER

Now pending before the Court is defendant’s motion to dismiss the first and second

claims for relief. After carefully considering the papers filed by the parties, and having

reviewed the complaint, the Court concludes that oral argument is unnecessary and GRANTS

in part and DENIES in part defendant’s motion.

Defendant’s motion to dismiss the breach of contract claim is DENIED. Plaintiff’s

allegations are clear; defendant disputes whether it entered into an agreement, but it is on

sufficient notice as to what agreement plaintiff alleges it breached.

Defendant’s motion to dismiss the fraud claim is GRANTED with leave to amend. 

Plaintiff has not alleged with sufficient particularity facts that show that defendant never

intended to perform its promise; instead, defendant has alleged a breach of contract claim and

called it promissory fraud. Any amendment shall be filed within 14 days of the date of this
