A district court has confirmed an arbitration award, finding that a pro se challenge to the award merely questioned the correctness of the award, and that there was no evidence to sustain a challenge to the award on the bases permitted by the Federal Arbitration Act. The challenges to the award included the failure of the arbitrators to allow a late amendment to the claims, the exclusion of unlawfully intercepted audiotapes (where questioning about the subject matter of the intercepted discussion was permitted) and the suggestion that a witness committed perjury because he disagreed with the movant. Martin v. Scott & Stringfellow, Inc., Case No. 06-207 (USDC E.D. Va. Mar. 13, 2008).
