COOK, Circuit Judge,
dissenting.
Because I disagree with the conclusion that the Attards failed to assign their stock “free of all claims,” I respectfully dissent. The Attards signed the stock assignment exactly as Multimedia drafted. The letter the Attards sent with- the assignment, complaining that they were executing the assignment under conditions of economic duress, does not meet any legal definition of a “claim” against the stock. Thus, the district court correctly concluded that the Attards fulfilled their contractual obligations to Multimedia.
I would therefore affirm the district court’s judgment, for the reasons stated in that court’s memoranda of April 26, 2002 and May 23, 2002.
