Trustees Of The New York City District Council Of Carpenters Pension Fund v…

Background

On November 19, 2024, the petitioners filed a petition asking the court to confirm an arbitration award. The opinion does not provide details about the arbitration, the award, or the parties’ underlying dispute.

Court’s Order

The court stated that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award must be treated like a motion for summary judgment. A summary-judgment proceeding asks whether the available materials show that a party is entitled to judgment without a trial. The court ordered the petitioners to file and serve any additional materials supporting the petition by December 12, 2024. Ratto Construction Co.’s opposition, if any, is due January 6, 2025, and the petitioners’ reply, if any, is due January 13, 2025.

The petitioners must also serve the petition, all supporting papers, and the order on the respondent under Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by December 12, 2024. They must file an affidavit showing service by December 13, 2024. Judge Jesse M. Furman did not rule on whether the arbitration award should be confirmed.

Disposition

The court entered a scheduling and service order. It did not grant or deny the petition to confirm the arbitration award.
