Before LUCERO, BALDOCK and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

In April 2004, appellant DMA International, Inc. (“DMA”) entered into a contract to provide database research services to appellee Qwest Communications International, Inc. (“Qwest”). When the contract expired eight months later, Qwest refused to pay DMA’s final invoice, contending it had already paid DMA in full for its services. DMA accused Qwest of breaching their contract and submitted a demand for arbitration.*fn2 After the arbitrator ruled in favor of Qwest, DMA filed a motion in the district court to vacate the award under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). 9 U.S.C. § 10. The district court concluded that it had no basis to vacate the arbitrator’s award and granted a counter motion to confirm the award under 9 U.S.C. § 9. DMA appeals that decision. Exercising jurisdiction under 9 U.S.C. § 16(a) and 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we affirm.
