ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order confirming
an arbitration award in a contract action. Eighth Judicial District Court,
Clark County; Adriana Escobar, Judge.
Appellant argues that the arbitrator disregarded the law and
facts and exceeded his authority by entering a preliminary injunction that
precluded appellant from using and disseminating certain documents that
were protected by a nondisclosure agreement, sanctioning appellant for
violating the preliminary injunction, and allowing respondent to add
claims that appellant asserts were beyond the scope of the purchase
agreement's arbitration provision. He therefore contends that the award
should be vacated.
Having considered the parties' arguments and the record, we
conclude that the district court did not err in confirming the award.'

award). Appellant did not demonstrate that the arbitrator overlooked
statutory requirements, manifestly disregarded the law, or exceeded his
authority in entering the injunction and sanctioning appellant for
violating it, in allowing respondent to add claims based on appellant's
alleged violation of an employment nondisclosure agreement, or in
calculating damages for breach of contract. Health Plan of Nev., Inc. v.
Rainbow Med., LLC, 120 Nev. 689, 695, 698, 100 P.3d 172, 176-77, 178
(2004) (explaining that an arbitration award will be reversed only if there
is a statutory ground for reversal or the arbitrator manifestly disregarded
the law or exceeded his authority, and that an arbitration award is
properly confirmed if "there is a colorable justification for the outcome").
As the record does not support appellant's contentions, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED. 2
