J. Gallagher finds the lower court properly denied the pizza restaurant's motion to vacate an arbitration award in favor of the Cleveland Browns.

Affirmed.

[Consolidated.] J. Marbley grants the private equity company's motion to dismiss, ruling that because it is based in Florida and had no connection to the solar power company based in Ohio other than an initial 25 percent investment in the company, this court lacks jurisdiction over the claims brought against it. Meanwhile, because there is no evidence of coercion or deception on the part of the solar power company as it relates to the arbitration provision found in the customers' contracts, the solar company's motion to dismiss and compel arbitration is also granted.

J. Whitehead dismisses the pharmaceutical company's attempt to vacate, modify or correct the $310,000 arbitration award in the former employee's favor after the pharmaceutical company fired her without notice. This court does not have jurisdiction over the former employee because she is a Minnesota citizen who had Minneapolis listed as her primary location and who did not have “continuous and systematic” contacts with Washington during her employment.

J. Kelety finds that the trial court still has original jurisdiction over an arbitration award in a contract dispute. While the parties agreed an award would be subject to judicial review, they cannot choose to bypass the trial court and seek appellate review, as the courts are not parties to arbitration agreements. It was error for the trial court to step aside and it must review the arbitration award on the merits. Reversed.
