Counsel for Appellee
McKEE, Circuit Judge.
EHI Acquisitions, LLC appeals the District Court’s grant of Defendant’s motion
for summary judgment.
In her well-reasoned and thorough opinion, Judge Krause explained why EHI is
not entitled to relief and why the Defendant was entitled to judgment as a matter of law.1
As Judge Krause detailed, even if the relevant indenture is ambiguous, extrinsic evidence
makes the result clear. We can add little to Judge Krause’s analysis and discussion, and
we will therefore affirm the District Court’s order substantially for the reasons set forth in
that opinion.
