Anderson, Inc.; Defendant.diversified Business Credit, Inc., Appellee, 104 F.3d 364 (8th Cir. 1996)

Traci Kurilla and the other appellants are former employees of Fred G. Anderson, Inc., which ceased operations in February 1995. Appellants sued Anderson for their unpaid wages and obtained a default judgment. Anderson has not appealed.

In their lawsuit, appellants also sought to recover their unpaid wages from Diversified Business Credit, Inc., Anderson's former lender. Appellants alleged (1) conversion, (2) violation of Minnesota's wage lien statute, and (3) excessive control and equitable subordination. The District Court¹  granted Diversified's motion to dismiss all of appellants' claims. Appellants appeal only the dismissal of their claim for excessive control and equitable subordination or equitable estoppel.

Having reviewed the case, we conclude that the District Court's decision is correct. No error of law appears, and an opinion by this Court on the questions of state law that the case presents would lack precedential value. We therefore affirm the decision of District Court on the basis of that court's well-reasoned opinion.

AFFIRMED. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
