MAHAN, J.
Capital Promotions, L.L.C. (Capital) appeals the district court’s grant of
summary judgment that resulted in the dismissal of Capital’s claim against Don
King Productions, Inc. (hereinafter DKP) for intentional interference with a
contractual relationship. After reviewing the record and arguments on appeal, we
agree with the district court’s conclusion that it did not have personal jurisdiction
over DKP. Even when every fact issue is resolved in Capital’s favor, DKP’s
contacts with the State of Iowa were not sufficient to confer either general or
specific jurisdiction. The findings of the district court were accurate, its reasoning
sound, and the application of the law correct. Any further discussion of the issue
by this court would add little to the disposition of this case. Accordingly, we
affirm.
AFFIRMED.
