A petition to confirm a $187,000 reinsurance arbitration award was granted where there was no dispute that the court had jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter of the action, or that the claims at issue were properly submitted to the arbitration panel for resolution. In fact, the amount of the award had already been paid. The petitioner apparently wished the award confirmed simply to avoid any doubt in future litigation. That request was granted. Global Reinsurance Corp. v. Argonaut Ins. Co., Case No. 08-8482 (USDC S.D.N.Y. May 22, 2009).
