   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2518
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Melloy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Securities. District court did not err in dismissing plaintiffs'
   Private Securities Litigation Reform Act suit for failure to state with
   particularity a legitimate basis for the claims of fraud; the complaint,
   which alleged defendants misled investors concerning the seriousness of
   the problems with its Fidelis brand of defibrillator leads, failed to show
   defendants made materially false or misleading statements or that the
   company or the individuals knew the statements to be false; district court
   did not err in denying motion to amend the complaint as the proposed
   amendment would not cure the defects in the complaint.
