    The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without
    oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
    Gil Medina appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment confirming an
    award in an arbitration brought by Danny Trejo against Medina and his company,
    ITN Flix, LLC (ITN). The district court denied Medina’s petition to vacate the
    award, and granted Trejo’s request to confirm it. We affirm.
    We agree with the district court that Medina’s petition to vacate the
    arbitration award was untimely because Medina failed to serve Trejo or his counsel
    with notice of the petition within three months after the final arbitration award was
    delivered. See 
    9 U.S.C. § 12
    ; see also Stevens v. Jiffy Lube Int’l, Inc., 
    911 F.3d 1249
    , 1251–52 (9th Cir. 2018). In light of that untimeliness, we decline to review
    Medina’s other challenges1 to the district court’s confirmation of the award. See
    Brotherhood of Teamsters Loc. No. 70 v. Celotex Corp., 
    708 F.2d 488
    , 490 (9th
    Cir. 1983); see also Lafarge Conseils Et Etudes, S.A. v. Kaiser Cement & Gypsum
    Corp., 
    791 F.2d 1334

    AFFIRMED.
