Vincent Gulotta appeals following the district court’s1 dismissal of his action as barred by judicial estoppel. Following careful review of the record and those arguments of the parties on appeal that are properly before us, we conclude that, for the reasons explained in the district court’s order, the court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the action.
