164517P.pdf   02/16/2018  Qwinstar Corporation  v.  Curtis Anthony
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-4517
                          and No:  17-1809
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman, Circuit Judge, and Goldberg, Judge of the United States Court of International Trade] Civil case - Contracts. The parties' contract concerning Qwinstar's purchase of Anthony's company's assets was unambiguous and no external evidence can be admitted to contradict, explain or supplement the terms contained therein; the contract provided defendant agreed to sell Qwinstar all inventory he had at the time the agreement was executed, and the contract, which included an integration clause, did not include a list of parts Anthony had previously provided Qwinstar, which Qwinstar contended was more extensive than what was actually received; there was no evidence, therefore, that Anthony failed to deliver the inventory he possessed at the time the agreement was executed, and he did not breach the purchase agreement; order granting Anthony summary judgment on his counterclaim for breach of the employment agreement between the parties was inappropriate because the contract provisions regarding termination were ambiguous and reasonably susceptible to more than one interpretation; the district court's order granting Anthony summary judgment on his counterclaim is reversed, and the matter is remanded for further proceedings.
