202771P.pdf   01/31/2022  Jill D. Olsen  v.  Lee Kraus
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-2771
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Bankruptcy. No error in denying defendant Kraus's Rule 50(b) 
   post-trial motion; in action brought by the bankruptcy trustee, there was 
   sufficient evidence to support the jury's finding of conspiracy to breach 
   a fiduciary duty; defendant waived most of his arguments concerning the 
   language of the verdict director and the inconsistency of the verdict; 
   because plaintiff's damage theories for civil conspiracy and breach of 
   fiduciary duty were the same, the district court properly entered judgment 
   for the larger of the two amounts awarded; the jury instructions were not 
   plainly erroneous.
