   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1830
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Shepherd, Circuit 
   Judges] 
   Civil case - Breach of warranty. In order to prevail on a 
   fraudulent-misrepresentation claim under Iowa law, plaintiff had to prove 
   that his contractor, upon whom he relied in selecting defendant's 
   TrimBoard siding product, had actually reviewed materials from defendant 
   or received a communication from defendant that he passed onto plaintiff 
   and upon which plaintiff relied; he failed to do so, and the district 
   court did not err in rejecting his fraudulent-misrepresentation claim; 
   plaintiff's unfair or deceptive practices claims fails for the same 
   reason; the district court did not err in enforcing the terms of 
   defendant's limited warranty; the limited warranty is neither procedurally 
   nor substantively unconscionable and is enforceable under Iowa law.
