072027P.pdf   03/04/2008  Fairbrook Leasing  v.  Mesaba Aviation
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-2027
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil case - contracts. For the court's opinion in a related matter, see
   Fairbrook Leasing v. Mesaba Aviation, 408 F.3d 460 (8th Cir. 2005). 
   District court did not err in finding that the Term Sheet in question was a
   Type II preliminary agreement; applying New York law, the district court
   correctly determined that expectancy damages are not available in this
   case; the question of whether plaintiff was entitled to reliance damages
   was not properly preserved in the district court and would not be
   considered as an issue raised for the first time on appeal.
