   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-2679
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Arbitration. Hunt appeals the district court's denial of its request for additional relief in conjunction with the affirmance of an arbitration award; the request was not premature; in so far as the request amounted to a request for a declaratory judgment, by clarifying the meaning of the award, a declaratory judgment would give Hunt something the confirmation of the arbitration did not, and the request was not moot; nor was it precluded by 9 U.S.C. Sec. 11; in so far as the request for additional relief was a request for an order of specific performance, it was not moot, but it was precluded by the statute as the request amounted to a modification of the Arbitration Award; the parties' arguments expose a genuine ambiguity in the award; the court resolves the ambiguity and provides directions to the parties on calculating rates and revenues. Affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded with directions for entry of a declaratory judgment consistent with the opinion.
