021515P.pdf   12/10/2002  James Casazza  v.  Joseph C. Kiser
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-1515
   District of Minnesota   
   Civil case - contracts. District court did not err in finding 
   statute of frauds barred breach of contract claim in dispute 
   concerning sale of a $200,00 boat; for purposes of the doctrine 
   of partial performance, boat and its navigational software were 
   not a single commercial unit, and transfer of software did not 
   constitute partial performance of the alleged sales contract; 
   nor would the software transfer papers constitute a sufficient 
   writing to satisfy the statute of frauds; district court did not err 
   in rejecting promissory estoppel argument.
