Eastern District of Arkansas
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Murphy and Bye, Circuit Judges]

the field and his review of the record of the case; district court erred in

likelihood of a different outcome in stock evaluation suit; case remanded
for a new trial. Judge Bye, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
