Federal District: 
N.D. Ill., E. Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendant's motion for summary judgment in action alleging breach of contract and fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation arising out of parties' contract in which defendant agreed to provide business consulting services and where one of defendant's employees who was subsequently hired by plaintiff allegedly stole money from plaintiff after his hire by plaintiff. Record showed that plaintiff itself breached contract by hiring defendant's employee in contravention to contract's no-hire provision. Moreover, although plaintiff claimed that defendant had improperly failed to perform criminal background check on subject employee, there was nothing in record to show that said employee had criminal history.
