PER CURIAM:
  
   *
  

  Bank of Louisiana sued various Aetna entities, asserting the state causes of action of misrepresentation, detrimental reliance, breach of contract, and breach of fiduciary duty. The claim is for employee healthcare benefits pursuant to an insurance policy. The district court denied the
   
   *322
   
  bank’s Motion for Summary Judgment and granted defendants’ Motion for Judgment on the Stipulated Facts and Uncontested Material Facts.
 

  In its Order and Reasons entered on July 31, 2008, 571 F.Supp.2d 728, the district court carefully explained that defendants are entitled to summary judgment on the basis,
  
   inter alia,
  
  of the stipulations that were agreed to. For example, the court correctly found that “[t]he Joint Stipulation contains calculations demonstrating that the Bank has been over-reimbursed by $55,401.22.” The court also properly declared that “the contract was unambiguous and fully integrated,” so “the Bank cannot maintain its detrimental reliance claim.” Also, the bank accurately found that there was no negligent misrepresentation, because the alleged misrepresentation,
  
   via
  
  a letter, “occurred after the Bank purchased the extension coverage.”
 

  This matter is more than seven years old, has received ample judicial scrutiny, and needs to be brought to a close. Essentially for the reasons scrupulously explained by the district court in its comprehensive opinion, its rulings on the motions for summary judgment are AFFIRMED.
