APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
[Hon. Michael A. Ponsor, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Selya, Circuit Judge,
Stahl, Senior Circuit Judge,
and Lynch, Circuit Judge.

& Miller LLP were on brief, for appellee.
September 14, 2004
Per Curiam. After carefully considering the briefs
and record on appeal, we affirm for substantially the reasons
stated by the district court. The appellant fails to show that
the negligence claim was not properly dismissed on the ground
of arbitral immunity. New England Cleaning Servs., Inc. v.
American Arbitration Ass'n, 199 F.3d 542 (1st Cir. 1999).
Affirmed.
1st Cir. Rule 27(c).
