Prostyakov v. Masco Corp.
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
KANNE, Circuit Judge.
The district court granted Peter Pros-tyakov’s petition to confirm his arbitral award against Masco Corporation and, in so doing, denied Masco’s application to vacate the award on the ground that the arbitrator exceeded his authority when fashioning it. See 9 U.S.C. § 10(a)(4). Masco appeals, arguing that the district court erred by confirming the award. Prostyakov, in turn, asserts that Masco’s appeal is frivolous, and asks us to sanction Masco by ordering it to pay for his attorneys’ fees and costs. We affirm the district court’s judgment, but deny Prostya-kov’s motion.
