Gil Medina appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment confirming an
award in an arbitration brought by Danny Trejo against Medina and his company,
ITN Flix, LLC (ITN). The district court denied Medina’s petition to vacate the
award, and granted Trejo’s request to confirm it. We affirm.
We agree with the district court that Medina’s petition to vacate the
arbitration award was untimely because Medina failed to serve Trejo or his counsel
with notice of the petition within three months after the final arbitration award was
delivered. See 9 U.S.C. § 12; see also Stevens v. Jiffy Lube Int’l, Inc., 911 F.3d
1249, 1251–52 (9th Cir. 2018). In light of that untimeliness, we decline to review
Medina’s other challenges1 to the district court’s confirmation of the award. See
Brotherhood of Teamsters Loc. No. 70 v. Celotex Corp., 708 F.2d 488, 490 (9th
Cir. 1983); see also Lafarge Conseils Et Etudes, S.A. v. Kaiser Cement & Gypsum
Corp., 791 F.2d 1334, 1338–39 (9th Cir. 1986).
AFFIRMED.
1 See 9 U.S.C. §§ 10–11; Kyocera Corp. v. Prudential-Bache Trade Servs.,
Inc., 341 F.3d 987, 997 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc); see also Lagstein v. Certain
Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London, 607 F.3d 634, 641 (9th Cir. 2010).
