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 - 2 -
