Reishus v. Thompson

No. 20040007

Per Curiam.

1] Olaf Reishus appeals from the trial court's judgment dismissing his negligence action against James Thompson relating to custom combining services. On appeal, Reishus argues that the trial court's findings of fact were clearly erroneous. According to Reishus, the trial court erred in determining the oral contract between Reishus and Thompson was only for harvesting and hauling Reishus's flax, there was no meeting of the minds regarding Thompson's obligation to store the flax, and Thompson performed his services in a reasonable and prudent manner. We affirm under Rule 35.1(a)(2), N.D.R.App.P.
