Narrative:

On passing through 10;000 feet; the first officer noticed the engine fail annunciator on the engine egt display. The engine still had N1 rotation with no fuel flow. I [advised ATC] and asked for delay vectors to run our QRH engine failure checklist. We did one box pattern in doing our checklists and headed into land. Switching from runway 7R to the longer runway 8. On final I sent a quick ACARS to dispatch we had an engine failure. Since we were task overloaded I gave the arrival check late. Which was on our way inbound on final. I finally had time to talk to the flight attendants but they were doing their arrival announcements. So I chimed them 4 times. The a continued with the announcement and I believe I talked with the B. I informed him we had an engine failure; it would be a normal landing and would we will be on the ground in 5 mins. The a called back up under sterile cockpit and talked with my first officer. He asked what he needed to do. My first officer said nothing we were landing normally just with one engine.we landed uneventfully on runway 8 and taxied off. We stopped to run the [manual] for brake cooling. I talked with the fire chief and told him we didn't need any assistance. The numbers came back that we could taxi to the gate. Which we did. I didn't inform the passengers of the engine failure since I didn't feel the need to since we train for the situation and it's not a big deal and didn't want to cause alarm.the engine failed do to a fuel nozzle filter assembly had broken loose starving the engine of fuel thus causing the engine failure. We didn't chose to restart the engine since we were so close to the airport and it wouldn't have.
