Narrative Opinion Summary
The decision of the district court is affirmed. Plaintiff-Appellant URIC, a Texas corporation in receivership, appealed the dismissal of its First Amended Complaint and the denial of its cross-motion to amend the complaint, which occurred on August 21, 2001, in the Northern District of New York, presided over by Judge David N. Hurd. URIC brought six claims against the involved banks for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, constructive fraud, negligence, fraudulent conveyance, and conversion, seeking to recover $14,000,000 lost on an investment related to loans between URIC and its parent company. On appeal, URIC contested the dismissal of all claims except for negligence, which was dismissed based on statute of limitations. The appellate court affirms the district court's decisions, citing substantially the same reasoning as the lower court. The judgment is thus upheld.
