Summary
Respondent-appellant Pemex-Exploración Y Producción (“PEP”) appeals from the judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Hellerstein, J.) confirming an arbitral award notwithstanding that the award was nullified by a court in Mexico, where the award was rendered. We conclude that:
(1) There is personal jurisdiction over PEP, and venue lies in the Southern District of New York;
(2) The district court did not abuse its discretion in confirming the award; and;
(3) The district court, which included in its judgment $106 million in performance bonds that PEP collected, did not thus exceed its authority.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court in all respects.
