1Opinion of the Court
SCHWELB, Associate Judge:
This dispute arises from a lease of retail space in a “food court” in Washington, D.C. The (appellant) tenant, which sold bakery items in the food court, claims that it was driven out of business when, first, the (appel-lee) landlord strictly and selectively enforced certain use restrictions in the lease, and second, the landlord leased an adjacent space to Au Bon Pain, a successful bakery operator. The landlord contends that, even if the tenant’s allegations are true, the facts as alleged do not state a claim for relief. We agree and affirm.
