Question presented

Did the court of appeals violate Erie R. Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64 (1938) and the pragmatic federalism it represents by refusing to apply established North Carolina contract law to determine the rights and liabilities of the parties under their oral agreement for respondent’s delivery of liquid nitrogen to petitioner’s elite cattle reproduction business?
