Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Louisiana
(00-CV-224)
--------------------
May 9, 2002
Before WIENER and DENNIS, Circuit Judges, and Duplantier,*
PER CURIAM:**

-- 1 of 2 --

2
Cobb Investment Co., Inc. appeals the grant of Piccadily’s
motion for summary judgment, dismissing Cobb’s claims against
Piccadilly for breach of contract, fraud, misrepresentation, and
detrimental reliance. Cobb’s claims arise from and in connection
with a purchase agreement, with Cobb alleging that Piccadilly and
its counsel misrepresented the nature and extent of an EEOC
discrimination claim of which the parties became aware only days
before the scheduled closing.
We have reviewed the summary judgment record, the opinion of
the district court, and the facts and applicable law as presented
in the briefs and exhibits filed by able counsel and as
supplemented by their oral arguments. Based on our de novo review,
we are satisfied that all rulings and the judgment of the district
court are correct and should be affirmed for the reasons given by
that court.
AFFIRMED.
