RICHARD "RIP" HALE, Claimant-Appellant, v. MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY LLC, Respondent-Appellee., 982 F.3d 996
Summary
HOLDINGS: [1]-Where an employee filed suit under the FAA seeking to vacate an arbitration award of $0 against his employer and seeking an award of almost $15 million in damages, and where the parties admitted that they were diverse, the court had 28 U.S.C.S. § 1332(a) diversity jurisdiction because the amount in controversy requirement was satisfied since the relief requested in the complaint determined the amount in controversy, not the amount awarded by the arbitrator.
