Before: CABRANES and B.D. PARKER, Circuit Judges.1 

This appeal arises from an order of United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Paul G. Gardephe, Judge) that denied a motion to dismiss filed by respondent-appellant the Republic of Argentina (“Argentina”). In that motion, Argentina sought dismissal, on, inter alia, foreign sovereign immunity grounds, of a petition to confirm an arbitration award filed by petitioner-appellee Blue Ridge Investments, L.L.C. (“Blue Ridge”). Because the denial of Argentina’s motion to dismiss is an interlocutory order, we must first decide whether, and to what extent, we have jurisdiction to consider the issues raised in this appeal.
