United States Eighth Circuit

In a criminal defendant's appeal from a district court's order finding that it had ancillary jurisdiction to decide a breach of contract claim against defendant, the order is reversed where the other party to the contract failed to show that his state law breach of contract claim had a meaningful connection to the criminal charges against plaintiff.
