ORDER

1
This diversity case involves an industrial accident for which the plaintiff claimed various economic damages in contract and tort.   The district court dismissed the plaintiff's amended complaint pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6).   Based on our independent review of the record, we perceive no error in the district court's thorough opinion, which is reported as  Vacuum Indus. Pollution, Inc. v. Union Oil Co. of California, 764 F.Supp. 507 (N.D.Ill.1991).   On appeal, the plaintiff reformulates one of its claims, however, arguing that National Union gratuitously undertook to supply it with counsel, and executed this task negligently.   Because the plaintiff did not make this argument in its amended complaint below, the argument is waived.   Kensington Rock Island Ltd. Partnership v. American Eagle Historic Partners, 921 F.2d 122, 125 (7th Cir.1990).

We AFFIRM the judgment dismissing the amended complaint.
