Midwest Telecom v. Wal-Mart Stores

United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 98-3501 ___________ Midwest Telecom Resellers, Ltd., * * Appellee, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * Eastern District of Missouri.

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., * * [UNPUBLISHED] Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: June 16, 1999 Filed: July 16, 1999 ___________ Before BOWMAN, HEANEY, Circuit Judges, and LONGSTAFF,1 District Judge. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. appeals from the order of the District Court2 denying its motion for judgment as a matter of law and for a new trial, following a jury verdict for Midwest Telecom Resellers, Ltd. in this breach of contract action. Having considered the record and the parties' submissions, we conclude the District Court correctly denied Wal-Mart's motion. We also conclude that a comprehensive opinion in this diversity case would lack precedential value. We thus affirm the District Court's ruling without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
