Before DAVIS, JONES, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

      Alan Roush & Associates, Inc. (“Roush”) sued All-Clad Metal

Crafters, Inc. (“All-Clad”) in Texas state court for breach of an

independent sales representative agreement between them.       All-Clad

removed   the   suit   to   federal   district   court   on   diversity

jurisdiction.   All-Clad moved for summary judgment on the grounds


  *
   Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this
opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under
the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
that there   was   no   breach   of   the   “at-will”   independent   sales

representative agreement.        The district court granted All-Clad’s

motion for summary judgment for reasons stated orally at the

conclusion of the hearing.       Roush timely appeals.

     We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the reply brief, the

record excerpts, and relevant portions of the record itself.           For

the reasons stated orally by the district judge, we affirm the

grant of summary judgment in favor of All-Clad.

          AFFIRMED.
