Judge
Vargas
Date
Apr. 17, 2025

Background

On March 31, 2025, the petitioners filed a petition asking the court to confirm an arbitration award. The court explained that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award are treated similarly to a motion for summary judgment, which is a request for a decision based on the submitted materials when there is no genuine dispute requiring a trial.

Order

The court ordered the petitioners to file and serve any additional materials supporting the petition by May 8, 2025. The respondent’s opposition, if any, is due May 29, 2025, and the petitioners’ reply, if any, is due June 5, 2025.

The court separately ordered the petitioners to serve the petition, all supporting papers, and the order on the respondent under Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by May 8, 2025. The petitioners must file an affidavit showing that service occurred by May 9, 2025. Judge Jeannette A. Vargas did not rule on whether the arbitration award should be confirmed.
