Heading: Confirmation of the Award

Text: Under section 9 of the FAA, a court `must' confirm an arbitration award `unless' it is vacated, modified or corrected `as prescribed' in §§ 10 and 11. Hall St. Assocs., L.L.C. v. Mattel, Inc., 552 U.S. 576, 582, 128 S.Ct. 1396, 170 L.Ed.2d 254 (2008). And for petitions brought under the New York Convention, [t]he court shall confirm the award unless it finds one of the grounds for refusal or deferral of recognition or enforcement of the award specified in the said Convention. 9 U.S.C. § 207; see also Telenor Mobile Commc'ns AS v. Storm LLC, 584 F.3d 396, 405 (2d Cir.2009) (same, citing section 207). Scandinavian has identified no basis other than the asserted evident partiality for vacating the Award under the FAA or New York Convention. Because we conclude that evident partiality was absent, St. Paul's cross-petition to confirm the Award must be granted.
