U.S. Environmental v. Craig M. Beeson

United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 98-3654 ___________ U.S. Environmental, a Minnesota * Corporation, doing business as U.S.A. * Lights; Mark G. Edlund, individually, * * Plaintiffs - Appellants, * Appeal from the United States * District Court for the v. * District of Minnesota. * Craig M. Beeson, individually, doing * [UNPUBLISHED] business as XYZ Corporation, * * Defendant - Appellee. * ___________ Submitted: June 18, 1999 Filed: July 2, 1999 ___________ Before MURPHY and MAGILL, Circuit Judges, and REASONER,1 District Judge. ___________ PER CURIAM.

U.S. Environmental and Mark G. Edlund brought a complaint and request for injunctive relief against Craig M. Beeson in state court, claiming that he had breached a settlement agreement rising out of a prior state action. They subsequently filed an action in federal district court asserting the same claims, and Beeson moved to dismiss the federal action. After a hearing, the district court2 granted the motion to dismiss and awarded Beeson attorney fees. U.S. Environmental and Edlund appeal. After a careful review of this fact-specific record, we conclude that the district court should be affirmed. So ordered. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
