National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA. filed a cross-petition asking the court to confirm, or enforce, that award. The judgment states that the court ruled for the reasons given in its February 11, 2020 order, but that underlying order is not included in the provided text.

Rulings

The court denied Petersen-Dean’s petition to vacate the award and granted National Union’s cross-petition to confirm it.

The judgment also addressed public access to documents filed in the case.

The judgment stated that either party could move by letter to reopen the case within 30 days after the arbitration proceedings concluded. Judge Alvin Hellerstein is identified in the supplied case information; the judgment itself is entered by the clerk’s office.
