Devon Park Bioventures, L.P. v. Sebastian Holdings, Inc.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
Devon Park Bioventures, L.P. v. Sebastian Holdings, Inc., 401 F. App'x 647 (3d Cir. 2010)

Devon Park Bioventures, L.P. v. Sebastian Holdings, Inc.

Opinion

McKEE, Chief Judge.

Sebastian Holdings, Inc. appeals the district court’s orders affirming the arbitration awards dated July 7, 2009 and August 26, 2009, denying Sebastian Holdings’s cross-motion to vacate the arbitration awards, and granting the motion of Devon Park Bioventures, L.P. to Direct Entry of Judgment. We affirm.

Because we write primarily for the parties, we need not repeat the facts or procedural history of this case, which the district court has previously set forth. Order Granting Mot. To Confirm Arbitration Award, 1^4, Dec. 3, 2009. Sebastian Holdings argues that the district court erred in affirming the arbitration awards because the arbitrator’s decision was unsupported by the plain language of the contract and because the arbitrator ignored that Benoit Jamar had no authority to act on behalf of Sebastian Holdings.

In his detailed order, Judge Diamond thoughtfully and thoroughly explained his reasons for affirming the arbitrator’s decision. See Order Granting Mot. To Confirm Arbitration Award, 4-9, Dec. 3, 2009. The district court’s Order sufficiently analyzes the relevant law and applies it to the facts of this case. We can add little to the judge’s thoughtful analysis or conclusions.

Accordingly, we will affirm the district court’s Orders substantially for the reasons set for in those Orders without further elaboration.
