Description

This is an appeal from a judgment for plaintiff following a bench trial in an action for damages sounding in negligence brought by the receiver of a defunct insurance company against the attorneys who served as its general counsel. Jurisdiction was founded on diversity of citizenship. The district court found that defendants were liable to plaintiff in the amount of $28,672.19, apparently on the theory that defendants were guilty of "malpractice and conflict of interest misconduct." We reverse.
