   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  01-2038
   Northern District of Iowa   
   Civil case - contracts. On claim for fraudulent nondisclosure, 
   district court did not err in finding defendant did not have a duty 
   of disclosure with respect to its inability to acquire financing for 
   the parties' transaction; district court did not err in finding parties' 
   discussions had not ripened into an oral contract; claim that 
   defendant misrepresented its ability to enter into a contract failed 
   because none of plaintiff's evidence proved that defendant knew 
   it could not obtain financing at the time it made the representation.
