MORGAN KEEGAN & COMPANY, INC., Plaintiff-Appellant v. David FLEMING; David Fleming, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Carmeletta Fleming, Deceased, Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 12-3418.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: May 23, 2013.
    Filed: June 1, 2013.
    Before LOKEN, MELLOY, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. (Morgan Keegan) appeals the district court’s denial of its motion to vacate an arbitration award. After careful review of the record, see Medicine Shoppe Int’l, Inc. v. Turner Invs., Inc., 614 F.3d 485, 488 (8th Cir.2010) (standard of review), and considering the parties’ submissions, on’ appeal, we agree with the district court that Morgan Kee-gan was not entitled to the’ relief sought for the reasons explained in the court’s opinion. We conclude as well that .the district court gave adequate consideration to all of Morgan Keegan’s arguments, including its public-policy argument, which was premised on Morgan Keegan’s claim the parties entered into a settlement agreement. The arbitration panel heard evidence on the question of whether the parties had settled their dispute and concluded there was no valid settlement agreement. The factual determination there was no settlement agreement is not renewable under the Federal Arbitration Act.

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. .47B. 
      
      . The Honorable Brian S. Miller, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
