Background

On October 1, 2025, the petitioners filed a petition asking the court to confirm an arbitration award. The order states that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award are treated similarly to a motion for summary judgment, which is a request for judgment based on the submitted materials when there is no genuine dispute requiring a trial.

Court’s directions

The court ordered the petitioners to file and serve a statement required by Local Civil Rule 56.1, along with any additional supporting materials, by October 31, 2025. Those materials may include legal memoranda, the arbitration award, supporting documents, and affidavits or declarations stating that exhibits are true and correct copies of the documents they represent.

Top City Contracting Corp. must file any opposition by November 28, 2025. The petitioners may file a reply by December 12, 2025.

The court also ordered the petitioners to serve Top City Contracting Corp. with the petition and the order by October 10, 2025, using the methods identified in New York Civil Practice Law and Rules § 311. The petitioners must also serve the secretary of state under New York Business Corporation Law § 306 and file an affidavit confirming service by October 14, 2025.

Disposition

Judge Analisa Torres entered an order setting briefing and service requirements. The order did not grant or deny the petition and did not decide whether the arbitration award should be confirmed.
