How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that denial of vacatur “was appropriate because a reasonable person would not ‘have to’ conclude that [the arbitrator] was partial to [the plaintiff], or biased against [the defendants]” (citation omitted)
• stating that under FAA court may only modify or vacate award on grounds permitted by statute
• explaining an arbitrator “is not required to hear all the evidence proffered by a party”
• stating that “[a] motion for reconsideration should be granted only when [a party] identifies an intervening change of controlling law, the availability of new evidence, or the need to correct a clear error or prevent manifest injustice.” (Internal quotation marks omitted)
• “The Panel’s decision to hear only one witness does not make the arbitration fundamentally unfair.”
• “[T]he burden of proof necessary to avoid confirmation of an arbitration award is very high, and a district court will enforce the award as long as ‘there is a barely colorable justification for the outcome reached.’”
