113490P.pdf   07/08/2013  Watkins Incorporated  v.  Chilkoot Distributing, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-3490
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Contracts. For the court's earlier opinion in the case, see Watkins Inc. v. Chilkoot Distrib., Inc., 655 F3d 802 (8th Cir. 2011). The district court did not err in determining that Watkins' reclassification of a distributor known as the Lambert Group from sales associate to manufacturer's representative was not prohibited by either of the contracts between Watkins and Chilkoot and was not a breach of the contracts nor a breach of the implied convenant of good faith and fair dealing; district court did not err in dismissing counterclaims for equitable relief as equitable relief in unavailable under Minnesota law where, as here, the rights of the parties are governed by a valid contract.
