Summary
Petitioners, La Dolce Vita Fine Dining Company and La Dolce Vita Fine Dining Group Holdings Limited, brought this action to confirm two foreign arbitral awards and an order directing that judgment on the [CIETAC] arbitral awards be entered in their favor and against Respondent Zhang Lan ("Zhang"). In a Report and Recommendation dated April 20, 2022, Magistrate Judge Jennifer Willis recommended that the arbitral awards be confirmed and judgment be entered in favor of Petitioners. Zhang objects to the recommendation. She argues that Petitioners' action should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction and that the Court should decline to confirm the arbitral awards pursuant to Article V of the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the "New York Convention"). As will appear, the awards will be confirmed.
