U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 17-3185
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Gruender and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Economic Duress. The district court did not err in
determining that under Nebraska law, plaintiff had failed to show economic
duress as a matter of law; nor did she establish a fraudulent
misrepresentation on which she relied in entering into a purchase
agreement; as a result, the agreement's mutual release provision bars
laintiff's other claims, including a claim that defendant breached his
fiduciary duty to a minority shareholder by forcing plaintiff to sell her
shares and a claim that defendant had previously deprived her of a
corporate opportunity.
