   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  01-1302
   Northern District of Iowa   
   Civil case - contracts. Under Iowa law, it was not error to 
   submit both a breach of contract claim and a fraud claim 
   to the jury; the evidence was sufficient to support a plaintiff's 
   verdict on the claim for fraudulent nondisclosure as defendant's 
   fraudulent nondisclosure of a secret deal induced plaintiff to 
   ship certain samples which defendant needed in order to 
   close the deal; lost profits were recoverable under Iowa law; 
   evidence supported the jury's damage awards; fraud verdict 
   provided a basis for an award of punitive damages.
