Notice of a motion to vacate, modify, or correct an award must be

the award is filed or delivered. If the adverse party is a resident of
the district within which the award was made, such service shall be made
upon the adverse party or his attorney as prescribed by law for service

of the motion any judge who might make an order to stay the proceedings
in an action brought in the same court may make an order, to be served
with the notice of motion, staying the proceedings of the adverse party
to enforce the award.
