United States Eighth Circuit

In an action against a railway company asserting contract and tort claims arising out of a railcar lease agreement, pretrial rulings and judgment as a matter of law in favor of defendant are affirmed over claims of error regarding: 1) certain tried claims; 2) tort claims; 3) contract claims for returned railcars; and 4) an indispensable party issue. Plaintiff's attorneys' separate appeal seeking expungement of statements made about them by a judge is dismissed as untimely.
