Summary

JOHN P. CRONAN, District Judge.

Earlier today, Petitioner Consortia Gran Evento Peru 2019 ("CGEP") initiated this action against Respondent Oficina de las Naciones Unidas de Servicios para Proyectos ("UNOPS"), seeking to stay arbitration proceedings between CGEP and UNOPS. While the Petition is labelled an "Emergency Petition for Stay of Arbitral Proceedings," id. at 1, and it discusses the factors a court generally weighs in deciding whether to issue an emergency order, id. ¶¶ 36-42, CGEP has not yet filed a motion seeking emergency relief.

The Petition asserts that "[t]he relief sought is grounded in 9 U.S.C. §§ 2, 3, 7, and 206 of the Federal Arbitration Act ('FAA'), Article V(1)(b) of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the `New York Convention'), and the United States Supreme Court's decision in Smith v. Spizzirri, 601 U.S. 472 (2024)." Id. ¶ 2. None of these sources of authority appears to support Petitioner's request to stay proceedings.
