U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-2032
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Contracts. The district court erred in granting defendant
summary judgment on plaintiff's claim that a memorandum of understanding
the parties signed after a mediation was not a contract as a matter of
law; there are genuine issues of material fact concerning the parties'
intent,including whether board approval was condition precedent that had
to be satisfied before the parties could enforce the memorandum, and the
matter is remanded for further proceedings.
