Background
On February 19, 2020, the petitioners filed a petition to confirm an arbitration award. The opinion states that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award are treated like a motion for summary judgment, meaning the court considers the parties’ supporting materials under procedures used for deciding whether a case can be resolved without a trial.
Orders and Deadlines
The court ordered the petitioners to file and serve a statement under Local Civil Rule 56.1 and any additional supporting materials by March 20, 2020. Those materials were to include memoranda of law, the arbitration award, supporting documents, and affidavits or declarations stating that the exhibits were true and correct copies of the documents they purported to be.
Installrite’s opposition was due April 10, 2020. The petitioners’ reply, if any, was due April 24, 2020.
The court separately ordered the petitioners to serve Installrite with the petition and the order by March 6, 2020, using the service methods identified in New York law. They also had to serve the secretary of state and file an affidavit proving service by March 11, 2020.
Disposition
Judge Analisa Torres entered a scheduling and service order. The opinion does not state that the court granted or denied the petition, and it does not decide whether the arbitration award should be confirmed.
