No. 21-11200
On appeal, Hoover raises procedural and substantive issues. We have reviewed the briefs, applicable parts of the record, and the pertinent law, and we have heard the oral arguments of counsel. Hoover’s claims all lack merit.
The district court did not err in denying Hoover’s demand for a jury or in finding for HAT Contract on Hoover’s claims.
The judgment is AFFIRMED, essentially for the reasons set forth by the district court.
