PER CURIAM:
This case arises from a dispute over the insurance proceeds
paid on a yacht that was destroyed by a fire. Puglia Marine
appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment to Trinity
Yachts on Puglia Marine’s claims for unjust enrichment, promissory
estoppel, and breach of contract.
We review the granting of summary judgment de novo. We have
reviewed the record, briefs, and applicable case law on this
matter, and we have had the benefit of oral argument. Our careful
review persuades us that the rulings of the district court were
correct. Accordingly, we affirm the judgments in favor of Trinity
Yachts on the reasoning of the district court. See Puglia Marine
Dev., Inc. v. Halter Marine, Inc. & Trinity Yachts, C.A. No. 4:00-
3949-22 (D.S.C. March 31, 2003 and Feb. 17, 2004).
AFFIRMED
