9    AND DECREED that the judgment of said district court be

10   AFFIRMED.

11       Appellant Cascades Boxboard Group CT, LLC, appeals from

12   a judgment of the United States District Court for the

13   District of Connecticut (Eginton, J.), which confirmed an

14   arbitration award in favor of Appellee United Steel Workers,

15   Local 1840, and United Steelworkers, AFL-CIO, CLC.    We

16   assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts,

17   the procedural history, and the issues presented for review.

18       Reviewing under the highly deferential standard

19   required for arbitration awards, see Major League Baseball

20   Players Ass'n v. Garvey, 532 U.S. 504, 509 (2001), we

21   conclude the district court did not err in confirming the

22   award.   Nor did the court err in declining to award fees.

23       For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the district

24   court is hereby AFFIRMED.
