   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-3713
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Melloy and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - contract. District court did not err in failing to grant
   judgment as a matter of law on breach of contract claim, as there was a
   legally sufficient evidentiary basis for the jury's verdict; district court
   properly exercised its discretion in excluding evidence of other projects;
   if the Missouri Supreme Court were to address the issue today, it would
   allow liquidated damages for a reasonable time after abandonment by the
   contractor or termination by the owner, and the district court's award of
   liquidated damages is affirmed; evidence was legally sufficient for the
   jury to find for defendant Arrowhead on plaintiff's breach of contract
   claim; district court did not err in denying plaintiff's motions for a default
   judgment or judgment as a matter of law against Concorde.
