Court’s Procedure
The court explained that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award are treated like a motion for summary judgment.

The materials could include affidavits or declarations confirming that the petition’s exhibits were true and correct copies of the documents they appeared to be.
The court directed the petitioners to serve the petition and supporting materials on Techwood by October 18, 2024, and to file proof of service with the court by October 21, 2024. Techwood’s opposition was due November 15, 2024. The petitioners’ reply, if any, was due November 22, 2024.
