Background
The court received the respondents’ cross-motion to confirm an arbitration award and for joinder of required parties. The opinion does not provide further facts about the arbitration, the award, or the requested joinder.
Court’s Action
The court explained that, in the Second Circuit, proceedings to confirm arbitration awards must be treated similarly to a motion for summary judgment. A summary-judgment motion asks whether the record shows that a party is entitled to judgment without a trial. Based on that procedure, the court set February 5, 2021, as the deadline for the petitioner’s opposition, if any, and February 12, 2021, as the deadline for the respondents’ reply, if any.
Disposition
Judge Ronnie Abrams issued a scheduling order. The opinion does not grant or deny the cross-motion, confirm or reject the arbitration award, or rule on joinder.
