Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Alabama
____________
(April 30, 2010)
Before BIRCH, MARTIN and HILL, Circuit Judges.

-- 1 of 2 --

PER CURIAM:
This appeal is based upon the district court’s grant of a motion for summary
judgment filed by The Krystal Company (Krystal), against Krystal
licensees/franchisees, Kevin McLaughlin, Rebecca McLaughlin, Phillip Dutt and
McLaughlin-Dutt, LLC (appellants). The claims alleged by appellants arose when
Krystal declined to renew their license/franchise agreement.
The pertinent facts are amply set forth in the Memorandum Opinion and
Order of the district court dated August 14, 2009. We have thoroughly reviewed
the record in this case, the briefs and the argument of counsel. Finding no error,
we affirm the judgment of the district court granting summary judgment in favor
of Krystal.
AFFIRMED.
