Background
The petitioners filed a complaint seeking confirmation of an arbitration award. The opinion states that they had not yet docketed an affidavit of service, meaning a sworn filing showing that the complaint had been served on the respondent. The court noted that proceedings to confirm arbitration awards are treated similarly to motions for summary judgment.
Court’s Order
The court ordered the petitioners to file and serve any additional materials supporting their petition by June 14, 2024. The respondent’s opposition, if any, was due July 8, 2024, and the petitioners’ reply, if any, was due July 15, 2024.
The court separately ordered the petitioners to serve a copy of the order on the respondent and file an affidavit of service by June 15, 2024. It also ordered them to file their affidavit of service of the complaint promptly.
Effect of the Order
Judge Jennifer L. Rochon issued a scheduling and service order. The opinion does not state that the court confirmed or rejected the arbitration award, and it does not otherwise decide the petition’s merits.
Uncertainty
The judge is identified as “Jennifer L. Rochon” in the body of the opinion, but the signature block appears in the provided text as “Ase L. ROCHON.”
