Background
On January 7, 2025, the petitioners filed a petition asking the court to confirm an arbitration award. The order states that the petitioners had not yet docketed an affidavit of service, meaning a filing documenting service of the petition on the respondent.
Court’s order
The court explained that arbitration-award confirmation proceedings are treated like motions for summary judgment. It ordered the petitioners to file and serve any additional materials supporting confirmation by January 21, 2025. M & K Construction Services Corp. could file an opposition by February 11, 2025, and the petitioners could file a reply by February 25, 2025.
The court also ordered the petitioners to serve the order on M & K Construction Services Corp. and file an affidavit of service for that order. Separately, the court directed the petitioners to promptly file their affidavit of service for the petition.
What the order did not decide
Judge Jennifer L. Rochon did not rule on whether the arbitration award should be confirmed. This order set deadlines and required service-related filings; the opinion does not state whether M & K filed an opposition or whether the petitioners' service filings were later completed.
