Vera Smith, of the Estate of Robert J. Smith, Deceased v. Duff and Phelps, Inc., a Corporation and Claire v. Hansen
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided October 22, 1993No. 91-7521PublishedCited by 42 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
TJOFLAT, Chief Judge:
Vera Smith appeals from summary judgment in favor of Duff and Phelps, Inc., on the issue of whether the statute of limitations had run on her securities fraud claims. Because a prior panel ruled (in an interlocutory appeal) that this issue was inappropriate for summary judgment, we remand for trial. Smith also appeals the district court’s denial of leave to amend her complaint to reflect a federal RICO claim. Because the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying leave to amend, we affirm the denial.
