Pacific Scientific was named in a shareholder suit.

The suit, filed in federal court in Los Angeles by the A&J; Deutscher Family Fund of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., alleges that the Anaheim-based company made false and misleading statements about its sales outlook during 1983 and early 1984. It also contends that certain company officers and directors sold shares of its common stock while in possession of non-public information concerning the company and its financial prospects. Pacific Scientific, in a statement, said the suit was “without merit.”
