## Opinion text

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
Meghan Brown,
Petitioner,
-against- 25-CV-5633 (AS)
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A and JP Morgan ORDER
Securities LLC,
Respondents.

ARUN SUBRAMANIAN, United States District Judge:
Petitioner filed a petition to confirm arbitration. Dkt. 2. Petitioner then informed the Court
that respondents’ counsel has indicated they do not intend to object or contest confirmation of the
award. Dkt. 7. The Court notes that respondents have not yet appeared.
The stated basis for subject-matter jurisdiction is that the Court has “federal question
jurisdiction over this matter as it arises under the Federal Arbitration Act.” Dkt. 2 at 5. However,
it is well established that the FAA “itself does not generate subject matter jurisdiction.” Rabinowitz
v. Kelman, 75 F Ath 73, 79 (2d Cir. 2023) (summarizing Badgerow v. Walters, 596 U.S. 1 (2022)).
Instead, a “court must identify an ‘independent jurisdictional basis’ to resolve the matter.” Jd. at
78-79 (citation omitted).
By August 1, 2025, petitioner should submit a letter to the Court explaining the basis for
jurisdiction. If the basis is diversity of citizenship, petitioner should specify the citizenship of each
party.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: July 28, 2025
New York, New York

ARUN SU jf
United States District Judge
