Gary M. Berne, Stoll & Stoll, P. C., Portland, Or., for plaintiffs-appellants.

Gary L. Birnbaum, Mariscal, Weeks, McIntyre & Friedlander, P. A., Phoenix, Ariz., argued, for defendants-appellees; Jock Patton, Streich, Lang, Weeks & Cardon, Phoenix, Ariz., on the brief.

Before FLETCHER and POOLE, Circuit Judges, and HENDERSON, District Judge.


FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:

These are consolidated appeals from the district court's judgment dismissing plaintiffs' claims under Rule 10b-5 and various state blue sky laws, and granting summary judgment for defendants on plaintiffs' claim of breach of fiduciary duties. We conclude that the claims under Rule 10b-5 and the blue sky laws were properly dismissed, but that summary judgment on the claim of breach of fiduciary duties was improper.
