   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-2423
                          and No:  08-2465
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Melloy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Contracts. District court did not err in excluding certain lay
   opinion testimony from plaintiff's president concerning lost profits as his
   testimony amounted to speculation and conjecture and he lacked relevant
   and recent activity in the market in question; nor did the court err in
   excluding plaintiff's expert's proposed testimony as the testimony would
   have relied almost exclusively on the excluded lay testimony without any
   independent investigation or analysis.
