OPINION
P.C.P.S. Corp.' and Bharti Patel (collectively "P.C.P.S.") appeal the district court's order granting summary judgment to Knights Franchise Systems, Inc. For the reasons that follow, we will affirm.
We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Because we write primarily for the parties, we need not repeat the facts and procedural history of this case. Moreover, the district court has ably summarized that background. See Knights Franchise Systems, Inc. v. P.C.P.S. Corp., 2009 WL 3526229 (D.N.J. Oct. 21, 2009).
On appeal, P.C.P.S. argues that the district court erred when it awarded summary judgment to Knights on its breach of contract claim and dismissed P.C.P.S.'s counterclaim for breach of contract.
We reject both of P.CP.S.'s arguments. Judge Brown issued a detailed and thoughtful opinion that carefully and clearly explained his reasons for holding that P.C.P.S., rather than Knights, breached the franchise agreement. See Knights Franchise Systems, Inc., 2009 WL 3526229. We will affirm the district court's order for the reasons set forth by Judge Brown.
