Text: 6 This breach of contract/fraudulent misrepresentation action was filed by the Orchard Group Inc. (OGI) against Konica Medical Corporation (Konica) on September 3, 1992 in the United States District Court Northern District of Ohio Eastern Division. Following discovery, Konica filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on May 27, 1994. The District Court denied that motion on January 8, 1996, and the case proceeded to trial on February 26, 1996. 7 On March 6, 1996, the jury returned a general verdict for OGI on the breach of contract claim for $1,000,000 and found for Konica on the fraudulent misrepresentation claim. The damage award was based on expert testimony regarding profit projections for OGI if Konica had supplied it with x-ray film pursuant to the terms of an April 13, 1992 letter from Konica to OGI. 8 On March 12, 1996, OGI filed a motion for pre-judgment interest. On March 21, 1996, Konica filed a Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 50 motion for judgment as a matter of law. On May 13, 1996, the District Court denied both motions by Margin Entry Order, without a written opinion. The parties now appeal.
