OPINION

PER CURIAM:

1

Sebastian C. Sisti appeals from the district court's order dismissing his Petition to Vacate Arbitration Award. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Sisti v. Merrill Lynch, No. CA-91-102-R (E.D.Va. Apr. 22, 1991). However, Merrill Lynch's request for costs and attorneys' fees resulting from this appeal is denied. 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.

2

AFFIRMED.
