131981P.pdf   07/24/2014  Kena Harris  v.  FedEx National LTL, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1981
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, author, with Bye and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Personal injury. Under Nebraska law the driver of the truck 
   involved in the accident and his employer were independent contractors of 
   FedEx and not its employees; FedEx was not acting as a motor carrier and 
   it had no duty - nondelegable or otherwise - to require the driver to 
   observe Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations duties by reason of 49 
   C.F.R. Sec. 390.11; negligent entrustment theory of liability was properly 
   rejected; district court did not abuse its discretion in denying 
   plaintiffs' untimely motion for leave to amend their complaint.
