The problem of cosmic ray diffusion in magnetostatic slab turbulence is revisited. It is known that, for large timescales, the perpendicular diffusion coefficient is subdiffusive. Although, for small timescales, the field line random walk limit should apply, it is shown that the perpendicular motion is dominated by the Larmor orbit, and that no constant scattering length can be seen. It is therefore concluded that, in magnetostatic slab turbulence, perpendicular transport is completely suppressed.
