ANDREW v. WALZL (2021)

ORDER AND JUDGMENT **

Pro se Plaintiff-Appellant brought this action in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado seeking to confirm an alleged $6,898,000 arbitration award against Defendant under the Federal Arbitration Act. The district court dismissed the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, and we affirmed. See Nelson v. Walzl, 829 F. App'x 872 (10th Cir. 2020).

Less than two months later, Plaintiff filed three post-judgment motions, each of which the district court denied. This appeal follows, but Plaintiff merely reiterates the same arguments we rejected in his prior appeal to this court. See id. That is, Plaintiff alleges the district court erred in concluding it lacked subject matter jurisdiction because, by his argument, subject matter jurisdiction is provided for in 9 U.S.C. § 9.

Plaintiff presents no new arguments, facts, or law. Because we thoroughly addressed and rejected his contentions in Nelson v. Walzl, 829 F. App'x 872 (10th Cir. 2020), we see no useful purpose in writing at length. Exercising jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we AFFIRM. Plaintiff's motion to proceed IFP is DENIED.

Bobby R. Baldock, Circuit Judge
