Background
On March 27, 2025, the petitioners filed a petition seeking confirmation of an arbitration award. The court explained that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award are handled similarly to a motion for summary judgment, which is a procedure for deciding a case when the relevant facts are not genuinely disputed.
Court-Ordered Deadlines
The court ordered the petitioners to file and serve a statement under Local Civil Rule 56.1 and any additional supporting materials by April 21, 2025. Those materials were to include legal memoranda, the arbitration award, supporting documents, and affidavits or declarations stating that the exhibits were true and correct copies.
Dame Contracting was given until May 5, 2025, to file an opposition, if any. The petitioners were given until May 12, 2025, to file a reply, if any.
Service Requirements and Disposition
The petitioners were required to serve Dame Contracting with the petition and order by April 7, 2025, using personal service on an officer, director, managing or general agent, cashier or assistant cashier, or another agent authorized to receive service under New York law. They also had to serve the New York Secretary of State and file an affidavit confirming service by April 9, 2025.
The order established briefing and service procedures. It did not grant or deny the petition to confirm the arbitration award, and it did not decide the merits of that petition.
