Background
On February 4, 2020, the petitioner filed a petition to confirm an arbitration award. The opinion does not describe the award’s substance or the dispute that led to it.
Court’s Order
The court stated that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award must be treated as similar to a motion for summary judgment, which is a request for judgment based on the submitted evidence when there is no genuine dispute requiring a trial. The court therefore ordered the petitioner to file and serve a statement under Local Civil Rule 56.1, along with any additional materials supporting the petition. Those materials could include affidavits or declarations confirming that the petition’s exhibits were true and correct copies of the documents they appeared to be.
The petitioner’s materials were due February 25,
- ATO Contracting Corp.’s opposition was due March 25,
- The petitioner’s reply, if any, was due April 10,
- The petitioner also had to serve ATO Contracting Corp. with a copy of the order by first-class and certified mail.
Disposition and Effect
Judge Gregory H. Woods issued a procedural order directing the parties to submit materials and setting briefing deadlines. The opinion did not grant or deny the petition and did not decide whether the arbitration award should be confirmed.
