Los Angeles Superior Court minute order and notice granting Culver City Unified School District's motion for summary judgment in New Earth v. CCUSD, case 24STCV13243. The court concluded that New Earth failed to raise a triable issue that its proposal governed the parties' Year 2 relationship, treated the District's $600,000 purchase order as a counteroffer, and granted judgment for the District on New Earth's breach-of-contract and implied-covenant claims.
