Heading: claim of breach of agreement

Text: We find that the Gering National Bank did not breach the agreement in the letter. The bank successfully bid $250,000 for the Yamada Home place, and leased it to Ken Yamada from 1984 to 1986. The Yamada's argue that the bank breached the agreement by not fully financing Ken's cattle operation as stated in the agreement. The agreement gave the bank the discretionary authority to determine whether Ken Yamada's financial statement warranted a loan for the 700-head of cattle, and the amount of funds to be made available to him. It does not appear from the record that the defendant acted capriciously or arbitrarily. The bank president, Mr. Rahmig, stated that the cattle market was not doing very well at the time, and expressed his concern to Ken Yamada when he initially declined to loan the money for the 700 head of cattle. Regardless, Mr. Rahmig did not refuse all loans to Ken Yamada. The bank financed in excess of $800,000 for Ken's operation between 1984 and 1986. The plaintiffs, by the record presented on appeal, must affirmatively establish the existence of claimed error. See Forehead v. Galvin, 220 Neb. 578, 371 N.W.2d 271 (1985). The plaintiffs have not set forth facts establishing that the court's finding that the contract was not breached, was contrary to the evidence. We agree with the trial court. The defendant bank did not breach the contract.
