Jules v. Andre Balazs Properties · ¶16

Back in District Court, before the same court that had previously stayed Jules's claims pending arbitration, respondents moved to confirm the award under § 9. Jules opposed confirmation while cross-moving to vacate the arbitral award under § 10 on various grounds. Relevant here, Jules argued that, under Badgerow, the District Court lacked jurisdiction to confirm the award because the § 9 and § 10 motions did not present federal questions or satisfy the requirements for diversity jurisdiction, given that the parties to the arbitration and award were nondiverse and the amount in controversy was less than $75,000.
