Computerized Thermal Imaging Announces Favorable Ruling on Appeal Ninth Circuit Upholds Lower Court Decision OGDEN, Utah, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Computerized Thermal Imaging, Inc. ("CTI") (OTC:COIB) (BULLETIN BOARD: COIB) today announced that the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has ruled in CTI's favor in the appeal of the United States District Court decision to dismiss the plaintiffs' claims in the proceeding entitled "In re: Computerized Thermal Imaging, Inc., Securities Litigation." The Ninth Circuit decision upheld the determination of the District Court to dismiss the plaintiff's complaint because it failed to adequately plead a case. "We have always been confident that the appellate court would rule in our favor," commented Richard V. Secord, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Computerized Thermal Imaging. "We are very pleased to put this matter behind us and focus our resources on moving our BSC 2100 infrared cancer detection device into Canada and promoting our TIP system and Photonic Stimulator. We continue to pursue FDA approval for the BCS 2100 in the United States and hope to enter the U.S. market as soon as the FDA approves the BSC 2100 device. Meanwhile, the TIP system and Photonic Stimulator continue to be sold throughout the states as well as Canada and China."
