United States First Circuit

Dismissal of a suit to compel international arbitration is affirmed where: 1) the relief plaintiff sought was unavailable since it involved a hearing by an international arbitration panel under rules that the panel would not apply; 2) the court was not obligated to hold an evidentiary hearing; and 3) arguments that could have been raised before may not be raised for the first time in a motion for reconsideration.
