Description

Plaintiffs in these consolidated diversity actions, Robert D. Rufenacht and Robert Lewis d/b/a R&L Cattle Company, Prochemco Cattle Partners, Ltd., and Prochemco, Inc., brought suit against defendant, Iowa Beef Processors, Inc., seeking recovery of losses sustained as the result of cattle transactions involving one James Louie Heller, alleged by plaintiffs to have been acting as agent of defendant. Following non-jury trial the District Court, 492 F. Supp. 877, rejected plaintiffs' claims, and they now appeal from that adverse ruling. Appellants urge that the trial court erred in refusing to apply the doctrine of collateral estoppel with respect to the agency issue and in failing to find that Heller was defendant's agent in the subject transactions. Finding no error in the trial court's judgment, we affirm. THE PARTIES
