U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 09-1605
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Ft. Smith
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - settlements. Arkansas cases suggest that the Arkansas
Supreme Court would hold that the no-reliance clause in the parties'
settlement agreement is not an absolute bar to plaintiff's claim that he
was induced to sign the settlement agreement by defendant's fraud; as a
result, the district court erred in granting defendant's motion to dismiss,
and the matter is remanded for further proceedings.
