Task: songer_geniss

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to identify the issue in the case, that is, the social and/or political context of the litigation in which more purely legal issues are argued. Put somewhat differently, this field identifies the nature of the conflict between the litigants. The focus here is on the subject matter of the controversy rather than its legal basis. Consider the following categories: "criminal" (including appeals of conviction, petitions for post conviction relief, habeas corpus petitions, and other prisoner petitions which challenge the validity of the conviction or the sentence), "civil rights" (excluding First Amendment or due process; also excluding claims of denial of rights in criminal proceeding or claims by prisoners that challenge their conviction or their sentence (e.g., habeas corpus petitions are coded under the criminal category); does include civil suits instituted by both prisoners and callable non-prisoners alleging denial of rights by criminal justice officials), "First Amendment", "due process" (claims in civil cases by persons other than prisoners, does not include due process challenges to government economic regulation), "privacy", "labor relations", "economic activity and regulation", and "miscellaneous".

PER CURIAM:
Upon careful consideration of the record, briefs and appendix filed in this case, it appears to the court that the appellant is in breach of an oral contract to extend a line of credit to the appellee. After jury trial in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, appellee was awarded damages of $46,917.
There is no basis in law for appellant’s assignment of errors. Substantial performance of the terms of the agreement by the parties, and appellee’s reliance thereon, preclude the defense based on the Statute of Frauds. Damages were properly calculated to recompense appellee for reasonable foreseeable losses. Finally, the issue of representation of authority to extend the line of credit by the bank president was properly left to the jury. The jury verdict in favor of the appellee is amply supported by the evidence.
Affirmed.
