   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-2095
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil Case - diversity. International Environmental Management terminated 
   its contract with United Corporate Services, Inc. to provide registered 
   agent services in Missouri. IEM later contracted with CT to serve as its 
   new registered agent, but no change of registered agent form was filed 
   with the Missouri Secretary of State. After a default judgment was entered 
   against IEM for a lawsuit served on UCS for IEM and mailed to an old 
   address, IEM sued UCS for breach of fiduciary duty and other causes of 
   action. The district court's dismissal of the action against UCS on the 
   ground that UCS's contractual and fiduciary duties ceased when IEM 
   terminated USC as its agent is reversed on the breach of fiduciary duty 
   claim, as the statutory duty as a registered agent did not terminate 
   because the statutory agency was not revoked in accordance with the 
   Missouri statute. The breach of contract and negligence claims have been 
   waived. The district ocurt did not abused its discretion in dismissing the 
   bailment and conversion claims, raised for the first time in its reply 
   brief to a motion for reconsideration.
