   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bowman, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - torts Evidence was sufficient to support jury verdict for
   plaintiffs on their state law fraud claims; challenges to various evidentiary
   rulings rejected; jury instructions on damages were not erroneous; jury
   award of damages was supported by the evidence; evidence was sufficient 
   to support jury verdict for plaintiffs on their claims for tortious
   interference with contracts; plaintiffs' verdict on claims for unfair
   competition affirmed; award of punitive damages affirmed; district court
   did not err in refusing to consider affidavits from jurors explaining their
   verdict; district court did not err in rejecting plaintiffs' request to
   harmonize the jury's actual damages award on their state-law claims;
   district court erred in capping plaintiff Patriot's punitive damages award
   at a sum that is insufficient to cover its litigation expenses as expressed 
   in the contingency-fee agreement; district court did not err in dismissing
   plaintiff Masood's RICO and state-law claims for lack of standing;
   plaintiffs failed to establish a RICO clam because they did not show that
   the alleged association-in-fact enterprises shared a common purpose;
   plaintiffs failed to show that defendants Kelly and Gustin committed
   RICO violations, and the verdict in plaintiffs' favor on these claims is
   reversed; attorneys' fees issues remanded for further consideration.
