1Opinion of the Court
BRORBY, Circuit Judge.
The sole issue presented is whether an arbitration award should be vacated when the attorney for the prevailing party deliberately, intentionally, affirmatively and repeatedly communicated to the arbitrators an offer of settlement from the non-prevailing party in an effort to influence the arbitrators’ decision. Jurisdiction is found in 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291 and 9 U.S.C.A. § 16(a)(1)(D). We hold, in the absence of any evidence indicating the arbitrators were influenced by the settlement offer, the arbitration award should be confirmed.
