7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Firestone Financial, LLC, v. John R. Meyer
Case No.: 17-1611; 17-1712
Officials: BAUER, KANNE, and BARRETT, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Promissory Estoppel
Firestone Financial sued John Meyer as guarantor of defaulted loans. Meyer, proceeding pro se, asserted promissory estoppel as both a defense and counterclaim. After an earlier trip to this court, see Firestone Fin. Corp. v. Meyer, 796 F.3d 822 (7th Cir. 2015), the district court entered summary judgment for Firestone. Meyer filed two notices of appeal, and we consolidated the appeals. We affirm the judgment in 17‐1611 because a reasonable jury could not conclude that Meyer has satisfied any of the three elements of promissory estoppel. We dismiss 17‐1712 as duplicative.
Dismissed as duplicative
