Outcome
The Ninth Circuit affirmed summary judgment in favor of First Imperial Credit Union, holding that the contract unambiguously required implementation of JMFA's specific recommendations to trigger fee obligations, and JMFA failed to establish that FICU's later adoption of a similar program from another vendor satisfied this requirement.
