   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-1236
                          and No:  03-1244
                          and No:  03-1241
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Civil case - Bankruptcy. District court did not err in finding LIC failed 
   to prove a partnership interest entitling it to sue on behalf of the 
   Crossroads partnership, as the special master's finding that LIC was 
   never formally substituted as a limited partnership was supported by the 
   record, and LIC did not have standing to assert a derivative claim under 
   Missouri's Limited Partnership Law; district court did not err in 
   calculating the plaintiffs' damages for debtor's fraud and 
   misrepresentation; district court did not err in denying plaintiffs' claims 
   for punitive damages, as the record did not establish the required evil 
   motive; the court did err in granting prejudgment interest, as the 
   plaintiffs' claims were not liquidated or readily ascertainable; district 
   court did not err in finding debtor's fraud liability was not dischargeable 
   under Sec. 523(a)(2)(A); district court did not err in finding U.S. Bank 
   was not liable under Missouri Uniform Fiduciaries Law.
