### motion to vacate the arbitration awards, and granti ng the motion of Devon Park Bio ventures, L.P. to Direct Entry of Judgment. We affirm. Because we write primarily for the parties, we need not repeat the facts or procedural history of this case, which t he district court has previously set forth. Order Granting Mot. To Confirm Arbitration Award, 1

- 4, Dec. 3, 2009. S ebastian Holdings argues that the district court erred in affirming the arbitration awards because the arbitrator ’s decision was unsupported by the plain language of the contract and because the arbitrator ignored that Benoit Jamar had no authority to act on behalf of Sebastian
H oldings. In his detailed order, Judge Diamond thoughtfully and thoroughly explained his reasons for affirming the arbitrator’s decision. See Order Granting Mot. To Confirm Arbitration Award, 4

- 9, Dec. 3, 2009. The district court’s Order sufficiently analyzes the relevant law and applies it to the facts of this case . We can add little to the judge’s thou ghtful analysis or conclusions. Accordingly, we will affirm the district court’s O rder s substantially for the reasons set for in those Orders without further elaboration.
