061601P.pdf   02/09/2007  Todd P. Smith  v.  Robert Casali
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1601
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bowman and Colloton, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil case - Indemnity. The district court erred in finding that a
   sentence contained in a letter from Casali to Smith constituted a clear
   expression of Casali's intent to indemnify Smith sufficient to create an
   enforceable indemnity agreement under Arkansas law; the district court
   did not abuse its discretion in denying Casali's motion for leave to file a
   second amended answer raising three additional defenses as the request
   came after the close of discovery and would have been prejudicial to
   Smith; case is remanded for further proceedings.
