Order
The court stated that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award are treated similarly to a motion for summary judgment, meaning the court generally considers the parties' submitted materials when deciding whether the award should be confirmed. The court ordered the petitioners to file and serve any additional materials supporting the petition by November 10, 2020. The respondent's opposition, if any, was due November 24, 2020, and the petitioners' reply, if any, was due December 1, 2020.
The petitioners also had to serve the petition, all supporting papers, and the order on the respondent electronically and by overnight mail no later than November 10, 2020. They had to file an affidavit confirming that service with the court by November 11, 2020.
Disposition and Effect
This was a scheduling and service order. Judge Jesse M. Furman did not grant or deny the petition to confirm the arbitration award in this opinion, and the opinion does not state the ultimate result of that petition.
