PER CURIAM:

      This case stems from a dispute arising from a series of bids

by rival engineering firms seeking to provide services to NASA.

Tao of Systems Integration, Inc., appeals from the district court’s

grant of summary judgment in favor of Analytical Services and

Materials, Inc. (ASM) on Tao’s Lanham Act claim.       ASM appeals from

the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Tao on

ASM’s trade secrets misappropriation claim and from the district

court’s refusal to grant summary judgment in favor of ASM on Tao’s

trade secrets misappropriation claim.     We have reviewed the record

and   considered   the   parties’   arguments   and   find   them   to   be

meritless. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   (J.A. at 3136-61.)

                                                                AFFIRMED

                                    3
