   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-2466
                          and No:  06-2467
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Wollman and John R. Gibson,
   Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Torts. Kent was collaterally estopped from litigating the
   claim that United was responsible for the loss of his insurance license as
   the South Dakota Supreme Court had conclusively determined that Kent's
   own dishonest conduct justified the State's revocation of his license;
   District court did not err in concluding United did not owe Kent any
   fiduciary duty, as the evidence established an arms length business
   relationship between them; United's failure to provide Kent with
   documents for his defense did not constitute statutory deceit under South
   Dakota law; Kent's judgment reversed and case remanded for further
   proceedings.
