U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-3063
District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Melloy and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Contracts. Letter of intent did not create an express contract
between the parties as it did not create a definitive lease agreement for the
property; district court did not err in determining the statute of frauds
barred plaintiffs' implied contract claim; district court did not err in
granting defendant summary judgment on plaintiffs' promissory estoppel
clam as plaintiff failed to establish a promise upon which it could
reasonably rely because, as a matter of law in Nebraska, promissory
estoppel cannot be based on the parties' agreement to negotiate the terms
of a lease agreement; district court did not abuse its discretion in
approving the clerk of court's taxation of costs.
