“does not purport to resolve finally the issues submitted to [the arbitrators].” E.B. Michaels, 624 F.2d at 414. However, an interim ruling is sufficiently final if it “finally and definitely disposes of a separate independent claim” even though “it does not dispose of all the claims that were submitted to arbitration.” Metallgesellschaft AG. v. M/V Capitan Constante, 790 F.2d 280, 283 (2d Cir.1986); see also Kerr-McGee Refining Corp. v. M/T Triumph, 924 F.2d 467, 471 (2d Cir.1991). The Seventh Circuit and the Ninth Circuit have held that an arbitration panel’s order requiring the posting of security to protect a possible final award is a “final” award subject to judicial review. See Yasuda Fire & Marine Ins. Co. of Europe v. Continental Casualty Co., 37 F.3d 345, 347-48 (7th Cir.1994) (<HOLDING>); Pacific Reinsurance Mgmt. Corp. v. Ohio
