Melville, NY - January 28, 2008 - Nu Horizons Electronics Corp.

The judge presiding over the action cited the recent Supreme Court decision in Stoneridge Investment v. Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. et al as controlling and foreclosing the plaintiff's attempt to plead liability on the part of Nu Horizons and Titan for Vitesse’s alleged financial misstatements.
