United States Second Circuit

Dismissal of petition to vacate an arbitration award for lack of personal jurisdiction under New York's long-arm statute is vacated and remanded in order that the district court may address in the first instance whether the parties' contacts with New York that gave rise to the arbitration were sufficient to establish jurisdiction under New York's long-arm statute.
