The arbitration award is thus VACATED.

See 29 U.S.C. § 1401(b); Hyle v. Doctors Assocs., Inc., 198 F.3 d 368, 370 (2d Cir. 1999) (holding that once arbitrators have finally decided the submitted issues, they are, in common-law parlance, functus officio, meaning that their authority over those questions is ended (citation omitted) and holding that a di strict court can remand an award to the arbitrator for clarification when an award is ambiguous). The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close docket entries 18 and 31 and to terminate the case. (Signed by Judge Valerie E. Caproni on 3/27/2017) (jwh)
