   OPINION

McKEE, Chief Judge.

Direct Energy Business, LLC (“Direct Energy”) appeals the District Court’s order granting Appellees Acorn MHL Technology, LLC’s (“Acorn”) and Amy La-yous’s motion to dismiss in order to allow the dispute to proceed to arbitration. For the reasons set forth below, we will affirm.

Because we write primarily for the parties, we need not repeat the facts and procedural history of this case. Moreover, the District Court has aptly summarized the relevant background. See Direct Energy Bus., LLC v. Acorn MHL Tech., LLC, 2012 WL 393328 (W.D.Pa. Feb. 6, 2012).

In its well-reasoned opinion, the District Court concluded that a valid agreement to arbitrate existed between the parties and that the present dispute fell within the scope of that agreement. On appeal, Direct Energy argues that the District Court’s collateral finding that the Statement of Work (“SOW”) Extension was incorporated into the Master Consulting Agreement and the arbitration agreement is incorrect, because it presumes that the SOW Extension was validly executed by Direct Energy.

In his detailed opinion, Judge Lancaster carefully and clearly explained his reasons for concluding that the present dispute must proceed before an arbitrator. See id. We can add little to his discussion or analysis and we will therefore affirm the District Court’s order granting the Appellees’ motion to dismiss for substantially the same reasons as set forth in that opinion without further elaboration.
