(Nasdaq:MMCE) announced that in the Company's pending federal suit against its former executive Karl Miller seeking more than $1 million in damages for Miller's breach of a separation agreement, the Court today denied Miller's motion to dismiss the action and directed that the Company's suit proceed.
