Trustees of the New York City District Council of Carpenters v. National Retail Installation Inc.: Judge Abrams set deadlines for supporting an arbitration-confirmation petition.
The petitioners seeking confirmation of the arbitration award and National Retail Installation Inc., the respondent, are affected by the filing, opposition, reply, and service deadlines.
What happened
In Trustees of the New York City District Council of Carpenters v. National Retail Installation Inc., the petitioners asked the court to confirm an arbitration award. The opinion says they had not yet filed proof that the respondent was served.
The court explained that proceedings to confirm arbitration awards are handled much like motions for summary judgment. It ordered the petitioners to file and serve any additional supporting materials by September 7, 2022. The respondent's opposition, if any, was due October 5, and the petitioners' reply, if any, was due October 19.
Judge Ronnie Abrams also ordered the petitioners to serve the respondent with a copy of the order. The order set the schedule but did not decide whether the arbitration award should be confirmed.

Background
The petitioners filed a complaint seeking confirmation of an arbitration award. Confirmation is the court process for asking a court to recognize and enforce an arbitration award. The order states that the petitioners had not yet docketed an affidavit of service, meaning they had not yet filed proof that the respondent had been served.
Court’s Analysis
The court stated that proceedings to confirm arbitration awards must be treated as similar to a motion for summary judgment. The order did not analyze the arbitration award’s merits or decide whether confirmation was appropriate.
Order
The court ordered the petitioners to file and serve any additional materials supporting their petition by September 7, 2022. The respondent’s opposition, if any, was due October 5, 2022, and the petitioners’ reply, if any, was due October 19, 2022. The court also ordered the petitioners to serve the respondent with a copy of the order. Judge Ronnie Abrams therefore entered a scheduling and service order, without ruling on confirmation of the arbitration award.
