Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.

Katherine Tweedle appeals from orders of the District Court*fn1 entered after judgment in her favor on her breach-of-contract claim against State Farm Fire & Casualty Company. This case is before us for the second time. In the first appeal, State Farm challenged a jury verdict in favor of Tweedle on her claim to recover homeowners insurance policy proceeds. Tweedle v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., 202 F. App’x 934 (8th Cir. 2006). State Farm had refused to pay, contending that the fire that destroyed the insured house was intentionally set and that Tweedle had misrepresented material facts to State Farm’s investigators. The case went to trial on Tweedle’s claim for breach of contract, and she prevailed. State Farm appealed and we affirmed.
