   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-2171
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Truth in Lending Act. The settlement document from the 
   parties' state court action was not completely integrated and the district 
   court did not err in admitting parol evidence at trial; the evidence was 
   sufficient for the jury to find that the parties' state court settlement 
   agreement settled and waived plaintiff's TILA claim in this action; the 
   district court's inability to turn on "white noise" during bench 
   conferences did not prejudice plaintiff and did not require a new trial; 
   even if defendant's counsel's statement during closing argument regarding 
   whether plaintiff misrepresented whether he was represented by counsel 
   during the state court proceedings was erroneous, the statement did not 
   require a new trial; challenges to discretionary evidentiary rulings 
   rejected; the court's response to a jury question advising the jury that 
   it was the jury's role to determine what the parties agreed to in the 
   state court mediation was not erroneous.
