Background
On May 26, 2020, Media Force Ltd. filed a petition asking the court to confirm an arbitration award. The court stated that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award are treated similarly to a motion for summary judgment, meaning the court generally considers written submissions and supporting evidence.
Court’s Order
The court ordered Media Force to file and serve a statement under Local Civil Rule 56.1 and any additional supporting materials by June 29, 2020. Those materials could include legal memoranda, the arbitration award, supporting documents, and affidavits or declarations stating that exhibits were true and correct copies.
The court ordered Precise Leads to file any opposition by July 20, 2020. Media Force could file a reply by July 27, 2020.
The court also ordered Media Force to serve the petition and the order on Precise Leads by June 15, 2020, by personal service—and, if available, by email—on an authorized recipient identified in the order. Media Force was also required to serve the New York Secretary of State under the New York Business Corporation Law. By June 19, 2020, Media Force had to file an affidavit confirming service.
Disposition
Judge Analisa Torres entered an order establishing briefing, filing, and service requirements. The opinion did not grant or deny the petition and did not decide whether the arbitration award should be confirmed.
