United States Eighth Circuit

Summary judgment to defendants on plaintiff's tort and contract claims arising out of a series of art transactions is affirmed where: 1) voluntary dismissal of certain claims made earlier summary judgment orders final for purposes of appeal; 2) the district court did not err in finding as a matter of law that claims were barred by the statute of limitations, 3) the continuing tort doctrine did not toll the statute of limitations; and 4) there was no error in applying the law of the case doctrine when granting summary judgment.
