172661P.pdf   08/20/2019  Jerry Janvrin  v.  Continental Resources, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2661
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Arnold and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Torts. The evidence was sufficient to support the jury's 
   verdict that defendant acted with intent to interfere with plaintiff's 
   business relationship with his main customer, either by desiring to bring 
   the interference about or knowing that the interference was substantially 
   certain to occur; sufficient evidence existed to permit the jury to find 
   that defendant's interference was improper and that defendant was the 
   legal cause of plaintiff's injuries; substantial evidence supported the 
   jury's damage awards; the district court did not abuse its discretion in 
   giving the jury instruction on improper interference, as the instruction 
   given properly stated the law.
