Chuks ODIGWE, an individual, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. SPRINT SOLUTIONS INCORPORATED, a corporation, aka Sprint/Nextel Communications, Defendant-Appellee, 474 F. App'x 616

MEMORANDUM Chuks Odigwe appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment declining to set aside an arbitration award in his action alleging state law claims for breach of contract and consumer fraud. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, PowerAgent Inc. v. Elec. Data Sys. Corp., 358 F.3d 1187, 1193 (9th Cir.2004), and we affirm.

The district court properly denied Odigwe’s motion to set aside the arbitration award because Odigwe’s arguments regarding the arbitrability and the merits of his claims failed to establish a valid ground to vacate an arbitral award under the Federal Arbitration Act. See 9 U.S.C. § 10(a) (limiting vacatur of arbitral awards to circumstances involving fraud, corruption, bias, misconduct, or arbitral overreaching); Hall Street Assocs., L.L.C. v. Mattel, Inc., 552 U.S. 576, 583, 128 S.Ct. 1396, 170 L.Ed.2d 254 (2008) (Federal Arbitration Act provides exclusive grounds for vacating an arbitral award).

Odigwe’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive. AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
