United States Seventh Circuit

In an action for breach of contract and fraud, district court's grant of summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff is not entitled to payment under its agreement with defendant as no reasonable juror could find that plaintiff secured the contract in question on defendant's behalf; 2) plaintiff's claim that defendant breached their agreement by failing to complete an RFI for the Northwest account fails as defendant did not secure the contract in question; and 3) plaintiff's fraud claim fails as there is no evidence that defendant did not intend to perform its obligations at the time it signed the agreement.
