J. Dick grants remand on jurisdictional grounds to a construction company seeking to recover an arbitration award total of $711,000 from a bankrupt church. The church unsuccessfully argued the contractor’s attempt to garnish FEMA funds allotted to the church presents federal questions requiring federal jurisdiction. Simply because the contractor’s claim involves a federal grant, as the church alleges, does not in and of itself raise a federal question. In addition, there is no federal question raised in the contractor’s state court suit.

J. Schofield finds jurisdictional issues exist in this matter seeking enforcement of foreign awards. Shareholders in a resort and casino entered into arbitration in response to the resort terminating the Management Services Agreement (MSA) between the parties. The arbitral panel found the resort had breached the MSA by terminating it without sufficient basis and issued a liability award in favor of the shareholders. Because there are genuine issues of material fact regarding personal jurisdiction, cross-motions for summary judgment are denied, as well as the shareholders' motion to confirm the arbitral award.
