Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 978 F.2d 1268 (10th Cir. 1992) Oct. 20, 1992

Before SEYMOUR, STEPHEN H. ANDERSON and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

STEPHEN H. ANDERSON, Circuit Judge.


After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir.R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Plaintiff appeals the judgment entered after the district court granted Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment and denied Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment. We affirm.

On appeal, Plaintiff first argues that the district court failed to grant trial by jury to determine damages under common law. The district court decided this case on the basis of cross motions for summary judgment. After reviewing Plaintiff's brief on appeal and the record on appeal, we conclude that the district court properly granted summary judgment in favor of Defendants. Thus, the district court did not err in failing to grant a jury trial to determine damages.

Plaintiff also contends that "defendants [sic] and plaintiffs [sic] counsels failed to properly represent the interest of thier [sic] clients and billed for unnecessary time and costs." Appellant's Opening Brief at 2. As the district court correctly found, no attorneys were parties to this action. This argument is without merit.

Plaintiff's second argument on appeal is that the district court failed to comply with local rules. Specifically, Plaintiff argues that the district court failed to grant default judgment or sanction attorneys for misrepresentation and fraud under Kansas Local Rules 115, 206, 207, 210, 213, 216, 217, 218, 220, 221, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, and 407. After examining the record on appeal, we conclude that the district court did comply with the local rules.

The judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Kansas is AFFIRMED. Plaintiff's Motion to Enter Order is DENIED.

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
