Background
Trafelet had filed a petition and motion asking the court to vacate a partial final arbitration award. The award did not resolve attorney’s fees and expenses because the parties had agreed to address those issues separately. Cipolla & Co. was expected to file a cross-motion asking the court to confirm the arbitration award.
The parties jointly asked to hold further briefing on Trafelet’s motion until the arbitrator issued the separate fee award. They proposed that Trafelet then file an amended petition and motion addressing both the merits award and the fee award.
Proposed schedule
Under the proposed schedule, Trafelet would file the amended petition and motion, including a statement required by the court’s local rules, within 30 days after the fee award was issued. Cipolla & Co. would have 30 days to file its opposition and cross-motion to confirm. Trafelet would then have 21 days to file a reply and oppose the cross-motion, and Cipolla & Co. would have 21 days to file its reply.
Ruling
Judge Analisa Torres granted the parties’ request. The Clerk of Court was directed to terminate the motions pending at ECF Nos. 7, 12, and 20. The order set a revised process for future filings; it did not rule on whether the arbitration award should be vacated or confirmed.
