ALABAMA GAS CORPORATION, Plaintiff-Counter Defendant-Appellant-Cross Appellee, v. GAS FITTERS LOCAL UNION NO. 548 OF the UNITED ASSOCIATION, AFL-CIO-CLC, Defendant-Counter Claimant-Appellee-Cross Appellant, 599 F. App'x 382

PER CURIAM: In its appeal, Alabama Gas Corporation (Algasco) challenges the district court’s decision to exclude the expert testimony that it submitted in support of its motion for

summary judgment as well as the district court’s grant of

summary judgment to Gas Fitters Local Union No. 548 of the United Association, AFL-CIO-CLC (Local 548) confirming an arbitration award. Local 548 cross-appeals the district court’s denial of the union’s request for attorney’s fees and expenses, which it sought as a sanction against Algasco for pursuing this litigation challenging the arbitration award. ‘We review confirmations of arbitration awards and denials of motions to vacate arbitration awards under the same standard, reviewing the district court’s findings of fact for clear error and its legal conclusions de novo.” Frazier v.

CitiFinancial Corp., 604 F.3d 1313, 1321 (11th Cir.2010). We review the district court’s exclusion of Algasco’s expert testimony for abuse of discretion and will reverse the court’s ruling only where it was manifestly erroneous. Hughes v. Kia Motors Corp., 766 F.3d 1317, 1328 (11th Cir.2014). We review the denial of Local 548’s request for attorney’s fees for abuse of discretion. Dionne v. Floormasters Enters., Inc., 667 F.3d 1199, 1203 (11th Cir.2012). After reviewing the record and reading the parties’ briefs, we affirm the exclusion of Algasco’s expert testimony, the

summary judgment entered in favor of Local 548, and the denial of Local 548’s request for attorney’s fees based on the district court’s well-reasoned opinion filed on July 23, 2014. AFFIRMED.
