Jules v. Andre Balazs Properties · ¶21

To start, unlike with the freestanding applications at issue in Vaden and Badgerow, see supra, at 205–206, assessing jurisdiction over a § 9 or § 10 motion in a case originally fled in federal court does not require “looking through” the fled action. Instead, the court may assess its jurisdiction by looking at the suit that is already before it. As Badgerow explained, “[j]urisdiction to decide [a] case includes jurisdiction to decide [a] motion” within that case, and usually “there is no need to `look through' the motion in search of a jurisdictional basis outside the court.” 596 U. S., at 15.
