Head Matter:
STEEL FABRICATORS, INC., Appellant, v. UNITED STATES FIDELITY & GUARANTY COMPANY, Appellee.
No. 83-1421.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
March 7, 1984.
Russell E. Carlisle of Carlisle & LeCates, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.
Marcia E. Levine of Fazio Dawson & DiSalvo, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. We do not believe the appellant has demonstrated error in the trial court's entry of summary judgment essentially predicated upon a previously entered arbitration award and judgment entered thereon which specifically denied a claim that appellant now contends was really granted by the arbitrators but used as a setoff against claims made against the appellant in the arbitration proceedings. We have been cited no authority that would allow a trial court in a collateral proceeding to impeach findings of an arbitration panel that have been subsequently judicially approved.
ANSTEAD, C.J., and DOWNEY and GLICKSTEIN, JJ., concur.
