MEMORANDUM*
The law firm of Burger & Plavan appeals the district court's order denying its motion to compel arbitration of claims in an action brought against the firm by two former clients.

Co-Op Banking Group, 916 F.2d 1405, 1409 (9th Cir.1990). We affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's order entered on November 13, 1996.1
AFFIRMED.
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4
