Background
On August 1, 2022, the petitioners filed a petition asking the court to confirm an arbitration award. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute or the terms of the award.
Court’s Order
The court stated that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award are treated as similar to a motion for summary judgment. It ordered the petitioners to file and serve a statement required by Local Civil Rule 56.1, along with any additional materials supporting the petition, by August 31, 2022. Those materials could include affidavits or declarations stating that the petition’s exhibits were true and correct copies of the documents they purported to be.
Mahi Painting’s opposition was due October 3, 2022. The petitioners’ reply, if any, was due October 24, 2022. The petitioners were also directed to serve the petition and supporting materials on Mahi Painting and file an affidavit proving service.
Disposition
The court issued scheduling and filing directions. It did not rule on whether to confirm the arbitration award, so this order did not decide the petition’s underlying merits. The opinion states that service was due by March 21, 2022, with proof of service due by March 24, 2022; those dates precede the August 2022 filing and order dates, creating an apparent inconsistency that the opinion does not explain.
