   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-1069
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Chief Judge Riley, Author, with Wollman and Melloy, 
   Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - diversity - legal malpractice. District 
   court's grant of summary judgment in favor of attorneys who failed to file 
   a timely notice of appeal, is affirmed. There was sufficient evidence to 
   support underlying jury verdict, so state appellate court would not have 
   reversed the judgment on insufficient evidence grounds; the trial court did 
   not abuse its discretion in admitting evidence of discovery disputes or in 
   instructing the jury on spoliation of evidence; the trial court did not 
   abuse its discretion in admitting hearsay statements or in admission of 
   expert testimony, or in admitting a demonstrative animation.
