041200P.pdf   01/18/2005  Cameo Homes  v.  Kraus-Anderson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-1200
   District of Minnesota   
   Civil case - contracts. District court did not err in finding plaintiff had 
   failed to satisfy the contractual condition precedent to litigation because it
   had not given written notice of its breach of contract claims to the project 
   architect; failure to provide the written notice also precluded plaintiff's 
   assertions of negligence against the City of East Grand Forks; project 
   manager acted within the scope of the contracts and incurred no 
   additional obligation to plaintiff when it required verification of 
   plaintiff's work; there was no evidence project manager played any role 
   in furnishing plans or had any duty to verify blueprints, and plaintiff 
   could not state a negligence claim for providing inaccurate plans.
