Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          G. Gardner Johnson and Kathy Johnson appeal from the

district court’s order confirming the arbitrator’s award.    We have

reviewed the briefs, the joint appendix, and the district court’s

orders and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court.      See Choice Hotels,

Int’l, Inc. v. Johnson, No. CA-01-3875 (D. Md. June 27, 2002;

August 1, 2002).   We dispense with oral argument because the facts

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.



                                                            AFFIRMED
