Background Michael J. Egan filed a petition to confirm an arbitration award. The opinion does not provide the underlying facts, the parties’ dispute, or the award’s terms.
Court’s instructions The court explained that a request to confirm an arbitration award is handled similarly to a motion for summary judgment, which asks whether the moving party is entitled to judgment under the applicable legal standards without a trial. The court ordered Egan to file a confirmation request in that form under Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Local Rule 56.1 of the Southern District of New York.
Egan’s motion is due February 21, 2022. The Trust’s opposition, if any, is due March 7, 2022, and Egan’s reply, if any, is due March 14, 2022.
Service requirement and disposition The court also ordered Egan to serve the petition on the Trust electronically and by overnight mail no later than January 28, 2022. Egan must file an affidavit confirming service by February 4, 2022.
Judge Katherine Polk Failla’s order establishes the filing, response, reply, and service requirements. It does not decide whether the arbitration award should be confirmed.
