In one sentence

In Trustees for the Mason Tenders District Council Welfare Fund v. Danco Builders Group, Judge Abrams set deadlines for supporting an arbitration-confirmation petition.

Who this affects

The petitioners must meet the filing and service deadlines. Danco Builders Group may file an opposition by the specified deadline and must receive a copy of the order.

What happened

In Trustees for the Mason Tenders District Council Welfare Fund v. Danco Builders Group, the petitioners asked the court to confirm an arbitration award. They filed their complaint on October 17, 2022, but had not yet filed proof that Danco Builders Group was served.

The court explained that arbitration-award confirmation proceedings are handled much like requests for summary judgment. It ordered the petitioners to file and serve any additional supporting materials by November 18, 2022. Danco's opposition, if any, was due December 16, and the petitioners' reply, if any, was due December 30.

Judge Ronnie Abrams also ordered the petitioners to serve Danco with a copy of the order. The order set a schedule and did not decide whether to confirm the arbitration award.
