Opinions

OPINION OF THE COURT

Per Curiam.

The order of the Supreme Court, New York County (Lawrence K. Marks, J.), entered on or about November 4, 2015, which, insofar as appealed from as limited by the briefs, denied respondent Washington Nationals Baseball Club, LLC’s motion to confirm an arbitration award issued June 30, 2014 by Major League Baseball’s Revenue Sharing Definitions Committee, granted the part of petitioner’s motion seeking to vacate the award, and denied the part of petitioner’s motion seeking to direct that a second arbitration proceed before an impartial panel unaffiliated with Major League Baseball, should be affirmed, without costs. The order of the same court and Justice, entered July 11, 2016, which denied the Nationals’ motion to compel the parties to re-arbitrate the claim before the Revenue Sharing Definitions Committee, and granted petitioner’s cross motion to stay the parties from compelling or conducting another arbitration of this dispute until the final determination of the appeals from the November 4, 2015 order, should be modified, on the law, to grant the Nationals’ motion, and otherwise affirmed, without costs.
