   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  01-1947
   District of North Dakota   
   Civil case - contracts. In a 9-to-3 en banc opinion, the court 
   holds the agent agreement between the parties was 
   unambiguously terminable at will as a matter of law, and 
   the district did not err in declining to consider extrinsic 
   evidence plaintiff submitted when it granted defendant's 
   motion for summary judgment; dissent by Judge Lay; 
   dissent by Judge Heaney.
