141560P.pdf   07/06/2015  David Meyer and Nancy Meyer  v.  U.S. Bank National Association
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1560
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Lincoln   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Smith, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Torts. For the court's prior opinion in the matter, see Meyer v. U.S. Bank Nat'l Ass'n, 715 F.3d 703 (8th Cir. 2013). In this action alleging tortious interference with the plaintiff's contractual relations with a feed supplier, the district court did not err in granting summary judgment based on matters outside the pleadings where all parties were given a change to present material pertinent to the motion; the district court did not err in imposing Rule 11 sanctions against plaintiffs where they repackaged the prior suit under a different cause of action and made claims regarding the trust's status as plaintiff which were contradicted by their contentions in the prior case and the evidence in the record; the trust's appeal of the sanctions order was not frivolous; however, by arguing that the district court erred in granting a Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal when the district court clearly granted summary judgment in the case, and by misrepresenting governing law in their reply brief, plaintiffs had frivolously argued the appeal, and defendant is entitled to double appeals costs as a sanction.
