Background

On July 18, 2022, Petitioners filed a petition asking the court to confirm an arbitration award. The opinion states that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award are treated similarly to a motion for summary judgment, meaning the court considers the parties’ supporting materials under a process comparable to one used to decide whether a case should proceed or judgment should be entered.

Order

The court ordered Petitioners to file and serve any additional materials supporting the petition by August 25, 2022. Curtis Partition’s opposition, if any, was due September 8, 2022, and Petitioners’ reply, if any, was due September 15, 2022.

The court also ordered Petitioners to serve the petition, all supporting papers, and the order on Curtis Partition electronically and by overnight mail no later than August 29, 2022. Petitioners had to file an affidavit confirming service by August 31, 2022. Judge John P. Cronan’s order set the briefing and service schedule; it did not rule on whether the arbitration award should be confirmed.
