NO. 84-1092
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
3/25/85

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
Before:  CONTIE and MILBURN, Circuit Judges; and PECK, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM.

1
Intervale Steel Corporation appeals from a judgment of the district court holding that Borg-Warner's damages for breach of warranty may be set-off against Intervale's contract claim.  'It is not the policy or practice of this court, in reviewing cases on appeal where a district court has rendered a comprehensive opinion with which we find ourselves in full agreement, to rewrite such an opinion and, in a sense, to deprive the trial court of the credit of its careful consideration of the issues and arguments, and complete determination of the cause.  . . .'  Patrol Valve Co. v. Robertshaw-Fulton Controls Co., 210 F.2d 146, 147-48 (6th Cir. 1954); Stephenson v. Duriron Company, 428 F.2d 387, 392 (6th Cir. 1970).  We concur in Judge Pratt's opinion in this case reported at 578 F. Supp. 1081.1

2
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

1
 Intervale contends that Borg waived its right to set-off its damages for breach warranty against Intervale's contract claim by voluntarily dismissing its counterclaim based on breach of warranty.  However, Borg's clear assertion of breach of warranty and set-off in its answer preserves the right to set-off despite the voluntary dismissal
