003534P.pdf   10/15/2002  Stephen C. Jenkins  v.  KLT, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-3534
   Western District of Missouri   
   Civil case - contracts. Given that plaintiff was an employee-at-will 
   and his employment contract did not guarantee that he could 
   maximize his incentive awards, defendant did not breach 
   plaintiff's employment contract when it sold its business 
   thereby preventing him from reaching certain performance 
   goals which would have triggered the awards; severance pay 
   was properly calculated under the employment contract; 
   plaintiff was not owed attorneys' fees under the contract; 
   Missouri law precluded plaintiff from recovering the 
   benefit-of-the-bargain damages he sought for alleged 
   negligent misrepresentations.
