APPELLATE TERM OF THE SUPREME COURT, FIRST DEPARTMENT

PRESENT: DAVIS, J.P., SCHOENFELD, HEITLER, JJ
570811/07.

Anatole Yameogo, Plaintiff-Appellant,

against

Leslie A. Jennings, Esq. and Access Legal Services, Defendants-Respondents.


Plaintiff appeals from an order of the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court of the City of New York, New York County (Peter H. Moulton, J.), entered July 2, 2007, which denied his motion to vacate an arbitrator's award in favor of defendant.


Per Curiam.

Order (Peter H. Moulton, J.), entered July 2, 2007, affirmed, without costs.

Plaintiff's motion to vacate the small claims arbitration award was properly denied on this record, which shows that plaintiff signed an arbitration consent form in which he agreed that the award was final and expressly waived his right to appeal (22 NYCRR § 208.41 [N][2]). Plaintiff has advanced no competent evidence of bias or prejudice, and his factual arguments addressed to the merits are not reviewable on appeal.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
