AFFIRMED
William A. Scott, of Charleston, for Appellant.
Michael D. Moore, of Ridgeville, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Entwistle Builders, Inc. (Entwistle) appeals an arbitration award entered in favor of Mark Steele Harris and the trial court's order denying Entwistle's motion to vacate the award. We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: Trident Technical Coll. v. Lucas & Stubbs, Ltd., 286 S.C. 98, 111, 333 S.E.2d 781, 789 (1985) (noting arbitrators need not specify their reasoning or the basis of an award so long as the factual inferences and legal conclusions supporting the award are barely colorable); Weimer v. Jones, 364 S.C. 78, 80, 610 S.E.2d 850, 852 (Ct. App. 2005) (holding absent statutory grounds, an arbitration award will be vacated only on the ground of "manifest disregard or perverse misconstruction of the law"); Harris v. Bennett, 332 S.C. 238, 243, 503 S.E.2d 782, 785 (Ct. App. 1998) (stating an appellate court need not review the merits of the decision if an issue is within the scope of the arbitration agreement).
AFFIRMED.
SHORT, THOMAS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
