Question presented
This case presents the same question as the nowpending petition for writ of certiorari in 25-1383, Indian Harbor Insurance Co. et. al. v. Town of Vinton, Louisiana, et. al.: Does federal common law or state law determine whether a nonsignatory to an arbitration agreement governed by the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards can use equitable estoppel principles to enforce the agreement? The Court should hold this petition pending the disposition of Town of Vinton and then dispose of this petition consistently with its ruling in that case.
