In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision.  Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. You should write an incorrect option. Even though there exist multiple wrong answers, we only need a single wrong answer. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

Input: Consider Input: because of [the dealer’s] precarious financial condition .... ... [W]e decline to hold BMW/NA negligent and liable for damages since it could not reasonably have anticipated the crimes committed by [the dealer’s] principal, Eichler. Although BMW/NA may have been aware of [the dealer’s] shaky financial condition, that knowledge alone gave BMW/NA no cause reasonably to anticipate that Eichler would either engage in any criminal activity or that he would abscond with customer funds. In fact, no amount of supervision by BMW/NA would have enabled it to foresee Eichler’s thievery. Id. In other cases involving the franchisors of automobile dealerships, the courts have reached similar results. See Colson v. Maghami, No. CV 08-2150-PHX-MHM, 2010 WL 2744682, at *9-10 (D.Ariz. July 9, 2010) (<HOLDING>); DaimlerChrysler Motors Co., LLC v. Clemente,

Input: Consider Input: clause could be vitiated based on evidence of fraud “relating to the merger clause or fraud that invalidates the entire contract including the merger clause.” 228 Mich.App. 486, 498, 579 N.W.2d 411, 417 (1998). The plaintiffs have not alleged fraud in the merger clause itself. Instead, the plaintiffs allege that the defendants fraudulently induced them to buy investment properties in Detroit. The plaintiffs’ allegations of fraud in the inducement do not save their breach of contract claim because the remedy for fraud in the inducement is to void the contract, not reform it. See UAW-GM, 228 Mich.App. at 508, 579 N.W.2d at 418 (“Fraud ... makes a contract voidable at the instance of the innocent party.”) (quoting 3 Corbin, Contracts, § 580, p. 431); Star Ins. Co., 392 F.Supp.2d at 929 (<HOLDING>). The plaintiffs’ argument conflates their tort

Output: holding that a contract made in violation of section 432070 is void rather than voidable


Input: Consider Input: should "cease this activity asap!!!” 6 . As one basis for its motion to dismiss, the Board asserted that it, its members, its staff, and the administrative prosecutor had absolute quasi-judicial immunity from suit under Ostrzenski v. Seigel, 177 F.3d 245 (4th Cir.1999). Because the court regarded the record as inadequate to evaluate the applicability of any immunities at that early stage of the proceedings, it rejected the immunity argument without prejudice to the Board’s right to reassert it on summary judgment. At present, the Maryland appellate cases do not unequivocally resolve the question of whether the Board had the right to an immediate appeal of an interlocutory order rejecting a claim of quasi-judicial immunity. See State v. Keller-Bee, 224 Md.App. 1, 3-5, 119 A.3d 80 (2015) (<HOLDING>). In any event, the Board did not appeal. 7 . 
 Holding statements: (A) holding court lacked jurisdiction to hear interlocutory appeal of denial of motion to dismiss based on qualified immunity by defendants who were not public officials (B) holding that erroneously admitted evidence may be considered when ruling on a motion to dismiss (C) holding that immediate right to appeal lies from denial of motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction (D) holding that prosecutors have absolute immunity (E) holding that court clerk had right to take immediate appeal of ruling denying motion to dismiss based on absolute judicial immunity


Output: holding court lacked jurisdiction to hear interlocutory appeal of denial of motion to dismiss based on qualified immunity by defendants who were not public officials
