073629P.pdf   09/08/2008  Dana Wolfley  v.  Solectron USA
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-3629
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Joplin   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Melloy and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - torts. District court did not err in applying Missouri choice- of-law rules to determine that North Carolina had the most significant relations with the torts and that North Carolina law should apply to the claims; district court correctly applied North Carolina law which holds that a landowner does not breach a duty when the dangerous conditions (here, ice and snow on a lot) were obvious. Judge Beam, dissenting on the ground North Carolina law requires the issues to be submitted to a jury.
