OPINION/ORDER Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. Although the subsidiary was neither incorporated in West Virginia nor licensed as a general contractor in North Carolina when RCDI Construction Management and Dr. It was a licensed general contractor in North Carolina at the time of the assignment and throughout the time that it acted as general contractor pursuant to the assignment. When the hotel was near completion. Spaceplan was neither a party to this litigation nor named as a party released from all claims in the settlement agreement. The tortious interference and unfair competition claims were premised on Spaceplan's recommendation to Dr. The negligence claim was based on allegations that Spaceplan failed to take steps to remedy the water damage for several months. Reasoning that there was no valid contract because RCDI Construction Management was not a licensed contractor when it entered the contract. This defect was not cured by the licensing of its subsidiary and assignee. Noting that recovery on a tortious interference claim effectively would allow unlicensed contractors to circumvent the rule prohibiting them from enforcing contracts that are both illegal and invalid as against public policy. |

The general contractor is not a third party beneficiary of the master deed and is not otherwise entitled to invoke its arbitration clause. Because the arbitration provisions and legal issues are identical in the three cases before us. The facts are as follows. Is not a party to the deed. Nor is it referred to anywhere in the deed's provisions. Griffin alleged that the Association was subject to mandatory arbitration based on provisions in the general construction contract and The Beach Club master deed. Griffin argues that the Association is compelled to arbitrate its negligence and breach of warranty claims under two separate arbitration provisions. Griffin asserts that it is a third party beneficiary of the master deed. Griffin says in the alternative that the Association is equitably estopped from avoiding the master deed's arbitration provision. A. Griffin's main argument is that the arbitration clause in the general contract is enforceable against the Association through the doctrine of R.J. |

OPINION/ORDER The district court dismissed Dadeland's claim for two primary reasons: (1) Dadeland did not satisfy the conditions precedent for bringing a bad faith claim and (2) Dadeland was barred from bringing this claim under principles of res judicata because Dadeland could have included this claim in its prior arbitration proceedings against the Sureties. Because we find that this case turns on important questions of state law for which there is no controlling precedent. Miami Dade County owns the property and is the lessor of the land on which the project is situated. Dadeland is the obligee. Walbridge is the principal. The defendant insurance companies are the Sureties. The Sureties are obligated to take certain steps to ensure that the construction is completed. The project was completed. After the project was opened and the tenants had moved in. Dadeland's consulting engineer advised the plaintiffs about certain construction defects and urged them to have the project inspected. Which set forth a timetable of tasks that Dadeland was required to perform to bring the project into compliance with the building code. |

OPINION/ORDER We conclude that the district court correctly determined there was no existing lease with which the mortgagee could have tortiously interfered. No lease existed between WALP and Schulman because the draft leases on which all of the negotiations between Schulman and WALP were based explicitly required execution by the landlord. Schulman's alternate claim for interference with a prospective contractual relation between himself and WALP fails as a matter of law because Morgan and Widener were acting in good faith to protect their legal and financial interests as mortgagee of the premises Schulman sought to lease from WALP. We will affirm the district court's order in all respects. Jeffrey Kelter ( |

We further find that the Erens' remaining assignments of error are also without merit. I. Ertan Eren is an architect. Eren would qualify for a§ 911 exclusion if he is classified as an independent contractor but not if classified as a State Department employee. 459 deficiency for 1989 after concluding that Eren was an FBO employee and therefore not entitled to a§ 911 exclusion.

UNITED STATES V. PROWS Tracy Prows was convicted of mail fraud and wire fraud for his role in a scheme to obtain software from WordPerfect at discounted prices by misrepresenting the identity of the purchaser. The district court misconstrued what is required for a conviction under the mail fraud and wire fraud statutes. We find that Prows was not prejudiced by his counsel's performance. Background Petitioner Appellee Tracy Prows was the owner of Computerland of Ogden. He was approached by James Baker who wanted to buy large quantities of WordPerfect software at a discount and resell them. Prows was an authorized WordPerfect dealer. He told Baker that discount prices were available when the software was purchased under a site license. A site license is an agreement whereby WordPerfect sells a large number of programs at a discount to a buyer who agrees that the programs will be exclusively for its own use and will not be resold. The discounts available under a site license are substantial. 1995 WL 143433 (Table) (10th Cir. 1995) (unpub.). price available to a WordPerfect dealer was $198 per unit of software. |
