Summary en banc order.

ROBERT MCDANIELS V. RICHARD KIRKLAND

Eighth Circuit: Hamid Yazdianpour v. Safeblood Technologies, Inc.

Any party to a breached contract has standing.

A reasonable finder of fact could hold that PL had no duty to investigate the status of a foreign patent, given explicit assurances of Deft.

Failure to deliver patent diminished the value of the agreement, didn't cancel distributorship.

Non-renewal of JMOL bars sufficient evidence claims.

Prejudgment interest excessively speculative.

Allen Thompson v. City of Waco, Texas

USA v. Armelinda Castillo

Second Circuit: Sleepy’s v. Select Comfort

Contract claims -- "first quality" goods breach claim not proven, as goods were not inferior to other goods of same manufacturer.

Contractual termination is distinct from contractual expiration.

When PL elicits defamatory statements, the PL consents to the defamation to the degree that it expected the statements to be defamatory.

Statements as to business practices of the company were statements of fact, not opinion, for purposes of New York defamation law.
