Hynix's Motion to Dismiss for Unclean Hands on the Basis of Collateral Estoppel - DENIED

Judge Whyte's tenative ruling:

Motion for dismissal is denied. There are no written findings and conclusions by Judge Payne which would allow the court to determine the precise basis for dismissal. Further, even if all elements are met, court has discretion to decline to apply collateral estoppel.
