151420P.pdf   03/15/2016  Loftness Specialized Farm  v.  Terry Twiestmeyer
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1420
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Wollman and Beam, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Contracts. For the court's prior opinion in the matter, see Loftness Specialized Farm Equipment, Inc. v. Twiestmeyer, 742 F.3d 845 (8th Cir. 2015), where the court reversed and remanded the district court's order granting plaintiff summary judgment on defendants' ccounterclaim for breach of a non-disclosure agreement. On remand, the court again granted plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, and this order is reversed and remanded. There was genuine issue of material fact regarding defendants' claim that plaintiff had breached the non-disclosure agreement by disclosing confidential information when it agreed to have a third party sell its grain-bagging equipment; defendants' counterclaim sufficiently pleaded the issue that plaintiff had breached the agreement by using the information for its own benefit while the agreement was in effect.
