Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
In this employment dispute, Plaintiff-Appellant Olen Lovell
appeals the district court’s confirmation of an arbitration award
in favor of Defendants-Appellees. Lovell alleged that his
employment was wrongfully terminated because of his race. The case
was submitted to arbitration by agreement of the parties. The

arbitrator ruled for Defendants-Appellees, and Lovell filed a
motion in the district court to vacate that award.
Lovell brings before us some sixteen claims, many of which are
repetitive or conclusional, or both. Given the extremely limited
scope of our review of arbitration cases and Plaintiff-Appellant’s
failure timely to raise his objections during the arbitration
hearing, most of Lovell’s claims are either barred or waived, or
both. We have examined the remaining claims and, after a careful
review of the parties’ briefs, pertinent parts of the record, and
the memorandum order of the district court, we conclude that they
have no conceivable basis in law or in fact, making this appeal
frivolous. We therefore dismiss this appeal.
DISMISSED.
