Heading: Breech of Fiduciary Duty

Text: 21 Good Samaritan argues that HSG breached its fiduciary duty to the partnership by owning and operating the Vancouver MRI facility without partnership involvement. The essence of Good Samaritan's argument is that the duties created by a fiduciary relationship are generally more onerous than those arising from a contractual relationship. Good Samaritan does not identify any specific obligation that HSG has violated, therefore we reject the claim that HSG breached its fiduciary duty to Good Samaritan.
22 Because we affirm the district court's dismissal of this action, we need not address HSG's argument that the breach of fiduciary duty was barred under Oregon's two year statute of limitations for tort actions. Or. Rev. Stat. Sec. 12.140. 23 AFFIRMED.
