   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1793
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Insurance. Loan forms the trustee relied on to support a 
   breach of contract claim against the insurer were not part of the parties' 
   contract; nor did trustee establish that the insurer was on notice of the 
   loan agreement and breached its duty of good faith by failing to properly 
   administer the policy; the insurer did not have a duty to ensure that loan 
   proceeds reached the correct recipient and, in the absence of such a duty, 
   the trustee's negligence claim fails.
