7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Christian K. Narkiewicz-Laine v. Kevin C. Doyle, et al.

Case No.: 18-2535

Officials: FLAUM, KANNE, and SCUDDER, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Damages

This case arose from the destruction of personal property and artwork belonging to Christian Narkiewicz‐Laine, an artist. Narkiewicz‐Laine stored his artwork and other belongings in a space in Galena, Illinois that he rented from the defendants. Years into the lease, the defendants emptied the unit, destroying the majority of Narkiewicz‐Laine’s property. He responded by suing to recover for the loss of his property. After a six‐day trial, the jury awarded him damages on multiple claims. Unsatisfied with his damages award, Narkiewicz‐Laine now appeals, challenging a number of the district court’s rulings made along the way. We affirm.
