1Opinion of the Court
SETH, Circuit Judge.
Appellant challenges the subject .matter jurisdiction for claims against him for breach of implied contract and breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, alleging the amount in controversy was not met. We find jurisdiction was proper. We agree with Appellant’s challenge of the district court’s failure to sever claims against a second defendant. Furthermore, we find the jury’s verdict for Plaintiffs awarding damages for breach of implied contract was not supported by the evidence and is therefore REVERSED.
