       Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New
York (Joseph F. Bianco, Judge).

     UPON DUE CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED,
ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the judgment of the District Court be and hereby is

resulting from the District Court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Kel & Partners LLC and

judgment of the District Court for substantially the reasons stated by the District Court in its well-
reasoned Memorandum and Order filed December 16, 2015.
