Heading: THE NRCP 41(b) DISMISSAL OF THE CONSPIRACY COUNT

Text: The essence of the conspiracy charge is that Winkel desired to relocate on Kietzke Lane in Reno, that property was purchased and a new building constructed thereon for that purpose, and that therefore Winkel conspired with the representatives of the Pabis and Kimmel estates to engage a city inspector to condemn the property. We need not cite the record in this opinion; suffice it to say that a review of it indicates nothing therein to support such an allegation. The validity of the city order was never challenged. Winkel did not abandon the premises in October 1965, after the city report was issued, but continued paying rent through January 1966. Even taking all of the evidence and inferences that reasonably could be drawn therefrom in favor of plaintiffs to establish a claim for which relief could be granted, we find nothing in the record which would support the conspiracy count; the district judge ruled correctly in granting the 41(b) motion to dismiss.
