Certiorari denied · May 18, 2026

Questions presented

  1. Whether 9 U.S.C. § 10(a)( 1) requires vacatur where an arbitration result was obtained through use of false employment records from Real Time Staffing Services LLC and EmployBridge LLC—entities that never employed Petitioner—and where opposing counsel expressly stated in writing that Petitioner was paid by Real Time Staffing Services LLC and that such records would be used to support dismissal.

  2. Whether vacatur is required under 9 U.S.C. § 10(a)(2)-(3) where an arbitrator relied on incorrect factual statements, failed to consider substantial racial-discrimination evidence, and issued a dispositive ruling without a full hearing.

  3. Whether due process is violated where courts fail to review evidence demonstrating that an arbitration award was based on false facts, fabricated employment records, misstatements of key evidence, institutional tolerance of arbitrator bias, and systemic failures within the American Arbitration Association.
