   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3433
                          and No:  13-1396
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Batesville   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman, Circuit Judge, and Webber, 
   District Judge.] 
   Civil Case - diversity. In this consolidated appeal, district court did 
   not err in granting summary judgment on breach of contract claim, as 
   letter of intent and ongoing negotiations demonstrated there was no mutual 
   assent and the parties did not reach a meeting of the minds as to all 
   terms. Absent a contract, FFCC cannot succeed on its promissory estoppel 
   claim. The district court's decision to deny a motion for jury trial is 
   now moot. The district court's retention of the question whether to unseal 
   portions of the record renders an appeal on that question premature. The 
   district court did not abuse its discretion in awarding attorneys fees and 
   the district court's award is affirmed.
