CHICK-FIL-A, INC., Plaintiff-Counter Defendant-Appellee, v. CFT DEVELOPMENT, LLC, Panda Restaurant Group, Inc., Panda Express, Inc., Defendants-Counter Claimants-Appellants.
    No. 09-15066
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    March 19, 2010.
    Matthew J. Calvert, Kelly E. Campanella, Hunton & Williams, Atlanta, GA, for Plaintiff-Counter Defendant-Appellee.
    John A. Schifino, John Joséph Agliano, Williams Schifino Mangione & Steady, P.A., Tampa, FL, for Defendants-Counter Claimants-Appellants.
    
      BEFORE: TJOFLAT, WILSON and HILL, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

This is an appeal from the grant by the district court of a declaratory judgment and permanent injunction in favor of Chick-fil-A, Inc. (Chick-fil-A) against CFT Developments, LLC, Panda Restaurant Group, Inc. and Panda Express, Inc. (collectively, Panda Express). After discovery and a four-day bench trial, the district court enforced a valid restrictive covenant precluding Panda Express from constructing, leasing or operating a restaurant on property adjoining Chick-fil-A in Mount Dora, Florida. It permanently enjoined Panda Express from operating a restaurant on that property.

We have thoroughly reviewed the record in this case, the briefs, the arguments of counsel presented, and the well-reasoned findings of fact and conclusions of law made by the district court. Finding no error, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.

AFFIRMED.
