DeWolff, Boberg & v. Chrysler Corp. ( 1998 )

United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT _____________ No. 97-3971EM _____________ DeWolff, Boberg & Associates, Inc. * * Appellant, * * v. * * Chrysler Corporation, * * Appellee. * Appeals from the United States _____________ District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. No. 97-4104EM _____________ [UNPUBLISHED] DeWolff, Boberg & Associates, Inc., * * Appellee, * * v. * * Chrysler Corporation, * * Appellant. * _____________ Submitted: November 19, 1998 Filed: November 27, 1998 _____________ Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, FAGG, and HALL,* Circuit Judges. _____________ PER CURIAM. The court has considered the briefs and heard oral arguments in this diversity- based breach of contract action. Chrysler Corporation raises several contentions about instructions, admissibility of evidence, and post-trial rulings deemed adverse to Chrysler. DeWolff, Boberg & Associates, Inc. contend the district court improperly refused its request for prejudgment interest. The parties' arguments have been carefully analyzed and considered. We have reviewed de novo questions of state law. Having reviewed the record in the context of the parties' arguments, we find the record supports the district court's decisions. Because our review involves the application of established principles of law in a fact-intensive diversity case, and the parties' submissions show they are thoroughly familiar with the issues before the court, we conclude that an extensive discussion would serve no useful precedential purpose. We thus affirm the district court without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. A true copy. Attest: CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT. * The Honorable Cynthia Holcomb Hall, United States Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit, sitting by designation. -2-
