United States Fifth Circuit
S&W ENTERS., L.L.C. v. SOUTHTRUST BANK OF ALABAMA, 02-10090
Denial of leave to amend was not an abuse of discretion where the motion was untimely and plaintiff offered no explanation for failure to comply with a scheduling order. Unreasonableness in failing to consent to an assignment agreement was insufficient to constitute an independent tort in a claim for tortious interference.
