SUMMARY ORDER

Plaintiff-appellant Ilya Manyk appeals from a judgment of the District Court granting the motion for summary judgment of defendant-appellee Western Union Financial Services (“Western Union”), and denying his motion to reopen discovery pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(f). 2 See Manyk v. W. Union Fin. Co., No. 07 Civ. 6260, 2009 WL 1490827 (S.D.N.Y. May 27, 2009). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and the procedural history of the case.

This appeal arises out of a claim for personal injury against Western Union and Ukrainian Financial Group (“UFG”), a foreign corporation, 3 in which Manyk alleged that he had been assaulted by an employee or agent of UFG or Western Union. Manyk argued that Western Union was vicariously liable for his injuries because the UFG location in which he was assaulted had actual authority to conduct limited types of business on behalf of Western Union. 4

The District Court granted summary judgment against Manyk, finding that he could not establish grounds for Western Union’s vicarious liability. It also denied his motion to reopen discovery in order to procure additional evidence regarding the relationship between Western Union and UFG. Manyk argues on appeal that the District Court erred by granting summary judgment against him and by denying his motion to reopen discovery.

Having conducted an independent review of the record, we AFFIRM the judgment on appeal for substantially the rea *49 sons stated by the District Court in its careful Opinion and Order of May 27, 2009.
