Webb & Carey v. Keenan
James W. Keenan appeals a postjudgment order denying his motion to vacate the judgment entered against him after the trial court granted the petition of law firm Webb & Carey, APC (Webb) to confirm an arbitration award in its favor. On appeal, Keenan contends the trial court erred by denying his motion to vacate, arguing: (1) the judgment was void because it confirmed an arbitration award that was void for lack of personal and subject matter jurisdiction and noncompliance with the parties' arbitration agreement; and (2) he was not required to challenge the arbitration award within 100 days pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1288 et seq. Court conclude this appeal does not raise issues different from those raised in Keenan's prior appeal of the judgment in Case No. D047948. Although the appeal challenges an order denying a motion to vacate the judgment, the motion was not, in substance, a motion to vacate a judgment as void for lack of fundamental jurisdiction of the trial court (rather than of the arbitrator). Court therefore dismiss this appeal.
