Heading: Number of Viable Dealerships

Text: 65 Weeks also argues that C.I. Kim fraudulently misrepresented the number of viable dealerships SHI had in North America, and that this misrepresentation harmed Weeks because he might not have taken the job with SHI if he were apprised of its true financial condition in North America. Weeks claims that C.I. Kim told him there were eleven viable dealerships in North America, while Weeks testified at his own deposition that he believed there were only five viable dealerships, and the rest of them were in severe financial difficulty. 7 Weeks says that we do not have to rely solely on his deposition testimony that there were only five viable dealerships, but that we can also rely on his testimony that he gave a memo to C.I. Kim regarding the number of dealerships in North America. Weeks, however, does not give us any help in finding this memo in the record. He also contends that the district court overlooked Exhibit 13, which is a memo Weeks sent to C.I. Kim shortly after he was hired. Weeks now argues that the district court failed to consider all of this evidence when it ruled against him. Actually, the district court's opinion states: 66 In section VII(a) of his response brief, Mr. Weeks argues that C.I. Kim's statement that the company had 11 dealers in North America was false because the company had only 5 financially viable dealerships. In support of his argument, Mr. Weeks cites to his own deposition testimony that defendants had 5 viable dealers. This testimony is insufficient to give rise to an issue of fact as to whether C.I. Kim's statement was a misrepresentation. Jugobanka d.d. New York Agency v. Unis International Corp., No. 93 C 1865, 1995 WL 3987,  4 (N.D.Ill. Jan. 5, 1995). 67 Weeks, 933 F.Supp. at 715. This quotation indicates that the district court did indeed consider Weeks' testimony. Although it is true that the district court is silent as to Exhibit 13, we have reviewed the documents Weeks references and find them to be unhelpful to his position. 8 Weeks' own subjective and uncorroborated testimony again is insufficient to preclude the entry of summary judgment against him. 68
