   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2107
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Western   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Erickson and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Conversion. The district court did not err in denying 
   plaintiff's motions to amend its complaint on the ground the motions did 
   not comply with the court's local rules; two of the accounts in question 
   were not controlled by defendant, and any injury to those accounts under a 
   theory of conversion is not fairly traceable to defendant; as a result, 
   the plaintiff lacked standing to assert this claim, and the claim should 
   have been dismissed for lack of jurisdiction rather than being decided on 
   a summary judgment motion; the grant of summary judgment on this claim is 
   vacated and the matter remanded for dismissal for lack of jurisdiction; 
   the record does not establish a confidential relationship between the 
   person committing the fraud and his mother, and the estate had no standing 
   to assert a conversion claim for the handling of their joint account; 
   again, because the court lacked jurisdiction to decide the claim, it erred 
   in granting summary judgment rather than dismissing the count, and the 
   matter is remanded with directions to vacate the summary judgment and 
   dismiss the claim; the final conversion claim is time-barred by the 
   applicable Iowa three-year statute of limitations.
