Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court

JERRY E. SMITH, Circuit Judge:

An arbitration tribunal issued an award in favor of 21st Century Financial Services, L.L.C. (“21st Century”), and against Manchester Financial Bank. Seeking to vacate the award, the bank claims that 21st Century did not provide it with adequate notice of the arbitration proceedings and did not engage in good-faith negotiations before compelling arbitration. Because the bank had notice of the proceedings and 21st Century sufficiently engaged in good-faith negotiations, we affirm the judgment confirming the arbitration award.
