Facts

Doran (P) bought a piece of a limited partnership and took out a loan to fund his commitment. Business declined, and P defaulted on the loan. The lender (D) sued P for damages.

The district court held that the sale of the partnership to P qualified under the private offering exception and P was denied relief.
