   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-2718
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Hot Springs   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Loken and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - contracts. District court did not err in finding the
   distributorship contract between the parties contemplated the duration of
   the relationship and agreed to a term that ends only by mutual consent or
   specific acts of default; as such, the district court did not err in finding 
   the agreement was for a perpetual term and not for an indefinite term; 
   district court did not err in denying defendant's motion for judgment as a 
   matter of law on plaintiff's claim for implied covenant of good faith and 
   fair dealing; however, the evidence was sufficient to support defendant's
   counterclaim that plaintiff breached the implied covenant of good faith and
   fair dealing, and the district court erred in setting aside the jury verdict
   and granting plaintiff judgment as a matter of law; that portion of the case
   is remanded, with directions to reinstate the jury's verdict and award for
   defendant.
