Jules v. Andre Balazs Properties · ¶3

This case addresses whether a federal court that has previously stayed claims in a pending action under § 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), 9 U. S. C. § 1 et seq., has jurisdiction to confirm or vacate a resulting arbitral award as to those claims under § 9 and § 10. The Court holds that it does. Because a federal court in this scenario has jurisdiction over the original claims and does not lose that jurisdiction while the case is stayed pending arbitration, it retains jurisdiction to determine whether the arbitral award resolving those claims is valid and should be confirmed. The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is therefore affirmed.
