1Opinion of the Court

ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge.

Cohen Development Company (“CDC”) and JMJ Properties, Inc. failed to jointly acquire a piece of property in Albertville, Minnesota, on which they hoped to develop an outlet mall. CDC then sued JMJ, in part, for breach of a contract that the parties allegedly had entered into to acquire the land. Following a bench trial, the district court held that CDC failed to prove that the parties had entered into an enforceable agreement, and entered judgment in favor of JMJ. CDC appeals, and we affirm.
