‘Selena’ Producer Allowed to Move Forward With Suit Against Selena Quintanilla’s Family
Esparza alleges that the joint venture was to hold onto rights until the expiration of the copyright of the movie while Selena’s family has insisted that a contract amendment had rights reverting back to the family.

The judge also accepts claims of breach of fiduciary duty, breach of fair dealing, unjust enrichment, negligent misre...
