The plaintiff's petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 192 Conn. App. 245, 217 A.3d 996 (2019), is granted, limited to the following issue:
"Did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that parties to an arbitration agreement did not avoid Connecticut's thirty day statutory deadline for filing an application to vacate an arbitration award set forth in General Statutes § 52-420 (b) by including in their agreement a choice of law provision stating that any arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (2012), which contains a three month deadline for filing a motion to vacate?"
