A federal judge has entered a $9.45 million award to a businessman seeking to sell off his ownership stakes in two medical-pharmaceutical companies.

U.S. District Judge Richard Caputo of the Middle District of Pennsylvania granted summary judgment Monday to Mukeshkumar Patel, the plaintiff in the case, captioned Patel v. Dhaduk. Caputo determined that Patel’s former business partner, Vithalbhai Dhaduk, breached their memorandum of understanding outlining Patel’s exit from the companies when he failed to pay his former partner the money they had agreed upon.
