   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-3518
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - diversity. District court's grant of summary judgment on
   breach of contract claim is reversed, as the district court failed to analyze
   whether the settlement agreement at issue was authenticated and whether
   Corrado was bound by the settlement agreement . The district court erred
   by extending the doctrine of ratification based on inapplicable Iowa case
   law.
