Heading: The arbitrator also awarded The Summit Group $10,019.40, itemized as follows:

Text: Custom Drywall System $11,453.00 E & K Drywall 21,112.00 Performance Coatings 18,800.00 Payment to Tim Rogers 600.00 Extra staff to clean paint and texture from Fixtures, tubs, etc. 1,092.00 Sub-total $53,057.00 Less Contract Amounts Not Paid to Jones In sum, the arbitrator found $40,195.47 in damages to Jones and $10,019.40 in damages to The Summit Group, resulting in an award of $30,176.07 to Jones. On March 17, 1999, Jones applied to the district court for confirmation of the arbitration award. That same day, The Summit Group filed an application for modification of the award with the arbitrator in accordance with Neb.Rev.Stat. § 25-2610 (Reissue 1995). The arbitrator refused to modify the prior award and denied the application. The Summit Group then filed a motion in the district court, requesting modification or correction of the arbitrator's award pursuant to § 25-2614(a)(1). The Summit Group asserted that the arbitrator granted Jones a double recovery by awarding Jones $40,195.47 for Drywall Contract Damages and Painting Contract Damages, while deducting $43,037.60 for Contract Amounts Not Paid to Jones from The Summit Group's award. The district court denied The Summit Group's motion and confirmed the arbitrator's $30,176.07 award to Jones. The court found there was not an evident miscalculation of figures under § 25-2614(a)(1). The Summit Group appealed to the Nebraska Court of Appeals, which, in Jones v. Summit Group, Inc., 8 Neb.App. lxvii (case No. A-99-1090, Jan. 18, 2000), dismissed the appeal without opinion and remanded to the district court for reasons unrelated to this appeal. Jones thereafter moved for summary judgment in the district court requesting that court to enter a final judgment in the amount of the arbitration award. The district court entered judgment for Jones. The Summit Group appealed.
