   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-3533
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Benton, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case. In action alleging the State of Missouri and the head of its 
   office of administration fraudulently induced plaintiff to make a loan to 
   a vendor performing a redesign of the state's health-benefits programs 
   software, the district court did not err in dismissing the claim as 
   plaintiff's pleading failed to plead fraud with sufficient particularity; 
   with respect to the lender's claim that the state terminated the contract 
   because of animosity to the ethnicity of the vendor's managers in 
   violation of the Civil Rights of 1866, plaintiff could not bring suit on 
   the vendor's behalf; plaintiff's Section 1981 claim failed because 
   plaintiff did not suffer or experience any discrimination; plaintiff did 
   not suffer any discrimination under Title VII.
