   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-2764
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bright, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - contracts. None of the evidence cited by plaintiff in support of his common law fraud claims was sufficient to establish that defendants intended to deceive him, and the district court did not er in granting defendants summary on all of the fraud claims, including rescission of the contract based on fraud and the securities fraud claim based on the Iowa Uniform Securities Act; however, the district court erred in granting defendants' summary judgment on plaintiff's claim of breach of fiduciary duty as there was a disputed issue of fact as to whether the information defendants withheld was material; district court also erred in granting defendants summary judgment on the plaintiff's insider trading claim; the court erred in granting defendants summary judgment on plaintiff's claim for breach of contract as there was a question of whether the redemption of stock satisfied the relevant contract provisions; on remand the court should reconsider the question of whether a sanction less onerous than striking an expert report was appropriate.
