[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Colloton, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Oil and Gas. The district court did not err in granting defendants' motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's claim of negligent misrepresentation regarding lease deals as plaintiff failed to allege any specific damage from the misrepresentations; with respect to plaintiff's claim for unjust enrichment, the district court did not err in granting defendant's motion for summary judgment as plaintiff had a remedy at law and did not present any specific facts to illustrate a benefit to defendant Holt; no error in denying plaintiff's motion for an equitable accounting as plaintiff had an adequate remedy at law; the jury was presented with substantial evidence on the meaning and provisions of the parties' joint venture agreement, as well as their performance under it, and could not be said that the jury verdict for defendants was against the weight of the evidence.
