Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 23-55123 · judgment February 5, 2024
Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Ninth Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and counsel who has filed here before, and down for a business respondent and a petition filed soon after the judgment below.
Questions presented

Have the Marshal service requirements of 9 U.S.C. § 9 on an application to confirm an arbitration award on a nonresident foreign adverse party been implicitly repealed?

If the answer to Question Presented No. 1 is no, does 9 U.S.C. § 9 provide a viable method of service on a nonresident foreign adverse party outside of the U.S.?
-
If the answer to Question Presented No. 2 is no, is the appropriate fallback provision for service of an application to confirm an arbitration award on a nonresident foreign adverse party outside of the U.S., F.R.C.P.
