Iqbal Husain v. Amjad Khan

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Iqbal Husain v. Amjad Khan, 460 F. App'x 647 (9th Cir. 2011)

Iqbal Husain v. Amjad Khan

Opinion

MEMORANDUM ***

Amjad Khan appeals the district court’s judgment for defendant Iqbal Husain following a bench trial regarding Husain’s claim for breach of contract arising from a settlement agreement entered into by the parties following a failed telecommunications joint venture. Because the parties are familiar with the facts, we need not repeat them here.

Following a bench trial, we review the district court’s findings of fact for clear error and conclusions of law de novo. Navajo Nation v. U.S. Forest Semce, 535 F.3d 1058, 1067 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).

The district court’s factual findings regarding the amount of damages awarded to Husain are not clearly erroneous. The evidence and the testimony presented during the bench trial are sufficient to establish that the contested expenses were incurred on behalf of the joint venture. The district court properly determined that Husain’s testimony and computerized expense reports supplied by Husain provided sufficient evidence to document his ex *649 penses. See U-Haul International, Inc. v. Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Co., 576 F.3d 1040, 1044-45 (9th Cir. 2009).

AFFIRMED.
