12 Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Maas, M.J.).1 15 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

19 This matter comes to us from a judgment entered after a jury verdict. Defendant-Counter-Claim-Claimant-Appellant- Cross-Appellee, NCR Corporation, appeals from the judgment of the district court, awarding Plaintiff-Counter-Claim- Defendant-Appellee-Cross-Appellant, The Barton Group, Inc., $8,018,667.00 in damages and $463,603.42 in prejudgment interest. The Barton Group appeals from the district court’s decision denying its request for equitable relief.

27 We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying factual allegations, the procedural history of the case, and the issues on appeal.

30 We review the district court’s denial of NCR Corporation’s post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law de novo. Hydro Invs., Inc. v. Trafalgar Power Inc., 227 33 F.3d 8, 15 (2d Cir. 2000). We accept the parties’ agreement that we review the district court’s denial of The Barton Group’s request for equitable relief for abuse of discretion.2

The parties consented to adjudication of this suit by Magistrate Judge Maas. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).

We express no opinion as to our standard of review of the district court’s denial of The Barton Group’s request for equitable relief.

1 We affirm for substantially the reasons stated in the district court’s thorough and well-reasoned opinion.

3 We have considered all of the parties’ additional arguments and find them to be without merit. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

7 FOR THE COURT: 8 Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
