Judge: Cook
Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on appeal from the Western District of Tennessee, Shelby County

Description:
Plaintiff-appellant Floyd Kyes, of New York, brings this contract action, arising out of the purchase of a 1988 Mack Superliner truck, against Baskin Auto Truck & Tractor, Inc. ("Baskinâ€), of Tennessee. He alleges violation of the Federal Odometer Act, 49 U.S.C. §§ 32701, et seq., fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, and detrimental reliance, and seeks rescission and damages. The district court granted summary judgment to Baskin on all claims, including Baskin's counterclaim for reasonable attorney's fees, in orders dated June 25 and December 12, 2007, and April 10, 2008. Because we find that the district court's orders carefully and correctly set out the facts and governing law, we adopt the reasoning of those three orders with regard to the issues before us, and affirm the court's judgments.
