KAHN ________________________ CLERK D. C. Docket No. 04-00752-CV-ORL-31-KRS JOHN R. STONE, JR., Plaintiff-Appellant, versus WACHOVIA SECURITIES, L.L.C., f.k.a. First Union Security, Inc., Defendant-Appellee.

________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida _________________________ (July 20, 2005) Before HULL, WILSON and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: John R. Stone, Jr. appeals the decision of the district court denying his application to vacate an arbitration award in favor of Wachovia Securities, LLC.

Having considered the briefs, and relevant parts of the record, we find no reversible error in the district court’s denial of Stone’s application without allowing discovery and conducting an evidentiary hearing.

The judgment of the district court is, therefore, AFFIRMED.
