Before TACHA, BALDOCK and LUCERO, Circuit Judges.


        Upon careful consideration of the record, the briefs of the parties, the

district court’s order, and the applicable law, we AFFIRM for substantially the

reasons stated in the district court’s order.

        The mandate shall issue forthwith.

        *
          The case is unanimously ordered submitted without oral argument pursuant to Fed. R. App. P.
34(a) and 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the
doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court generally disfavors the
citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under the terms and
conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3.
