ORDER GRANTING PETITION FOR

ENTRY OF UNITED STATES

JUDGMENT 

On June 2, 2006, the Court heard argument on petitioner’s petition for entry of United States

judgment. Petitioner seeks to have this Court 1) recognize and confirm a German arbitration award

under Chapter 2 of the Federal Arbitration Act and the Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation

Between the United States of America and the Federal Republic of Germany, July 14, 1956, 7 U.S.T.

1839 (“U.S.-German FCN Treaty”), and 2) recognize a judgment issued by the German Higher Regional

Court for Frankfurt finding that paragraphs 1 and 4 of the arbitration award are enforceable. 

Having considered the arguments of counsel and the papers submitted, and for good cause

appearing, the Court hereby GRANTS the petition. Petitioner’s request for an injunction is DENIED.

See Restatement (Third) of Foreign Relations Law § 481, cmt. b (“Judgments granting injunctions,

declaring rights or determining status, and judgments arising from attachments of property, are not

generally entitled to enforcement, but may be entitled to recognition under this and the following

sections.”). [Docket No. 1]

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 9, 2006
