This is an appeal from an order of the district court 

awarding summary judgment to plaintiff Seattle-First National 

Bank. Defendant Walton in this appeal challenges the district 

court's finding that he is bound under an assumption agreement in 

which he guaranteed a loan in favor of Gulf Energy Corporation. 

We agree with the district court that there are no disputed issues 

of material fact in this case and that the clear language of the 

assumption agreement binds defendant Walton. The order granting 

summary judgment to the plaintiff is AFFIRMED.
