The Court holds that a federal court which stayed claims in a pending action under Section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act keeps jurisdiction to confirm or vacate the arbitral award that resolves those claims, even though the Section 9 or Section 10 motion shows no independent basis for federal jurisdiction on its face. Badgerow v. Walters, which barred the "look-through" approach for freestanding confirm-or-vacate applications, does not apply when the claims were filed in federal court to begin with and are still pending there.
