PER CURIAM:

            Montage       Furniture     Services,         LLC    (“Montage”)    appeals

the district court’s order granting the Defendants’ motion for

summary judgment.          On appeal, Montage argues that the district

court erred in granting summary judgment on its claim for unjust

enrichment.      We affirm.

            We review whether a district court erred in granting

summary judgment de novo, applying the same legal standards as

the district court.           Martin v. Lloyd, 700 F.3d 132, 135 (4th

Cir. 2012).      Summary judgment is only appropriate where there is

no genuine issue of material fact and the movant is entitled to

judgment as a matter of law.                  Id.        “On a motion for summary

judgment, facts must be viewed in the light most favorable to

the nonmoving party only if there is a genuine dispute as to

those facts.”        Ricci v. DeStefano, 557 U.S. 557, 586 (2009)

(internal quotation marks omitted).                  “Where the record taken as

a whole could not lead a rational trier of fact to find for the

nonmoving        party,      there       is         no      genuine         issue      for

trial.”     Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475

U.S. 574, 587 (1986) (internal quotation marks omitted).

            We    have    reviewed      the   record       and    conclude     that    the

district    court   did     not   err    in    granting         summary     judgment    on

Montage’s     unjust      enrichment     claim.           We     dispense    with     oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

                                          3
presented in the materials before this court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.
