OPINION

MCKEE, Circuit Judge

Dale R. Michael appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of

the defendants in this action alleging that the defendants defrauded him out of an interest

in real estate. For the reasons that follow, we will affirm.

Inasmuch as we are writing primarily for the parties who are familiar with the

rather contentious background of this suit, we need not set forth the procedural or factual

history. We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties as well as the district

court’s very thorough and thoughtful Memorandum dated July 31, 2008. In that

Memorandum, Judge Stengel carefully explains that there is no genuine issue of material

fact and that the defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. We can add little

to Judge Stengel’s explanation, and we will therefore affirm substantially for the reasons

set forth in his July 31, 2008 Memorandum.
