                       for the Middle District of Florida
                        _________________________
                                (July 20, 2005)

Before HULL, WILSON and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      John R. Stone, Jr. appeals the decision of the district court denying his

application to vacate an arbitration award in favor of Wachovia Securities, LLC.
      Having considered the briefs, and relevant parts of the record, we find no

reversible error in the district court’s denial of Stone’s application without allowing

discovery and conducting an evidentiary hearing.

      The judgment of the district court is, therefore,

      AFFIRMED.
