Background
On November 2, 2022, the petitioners filed a petition asking the court to confirm an arbitration award. Confirming an arbitration award means entering a court judgment recognizing and enforcing the award. The court stated that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award are treated similarly to a motion for summary judgment, which is a request to decide a case based on the submitted materials when there is no genuine dispute requiring a trial.

The court ordered the petitioners to file and serve a statement required by Local Civil Rule 56.1 and any additional materials supporting the petition by November 26, 2022. Those materials could include affidavits or declarations stating that the petition’s exhibits were true and correct copies of what they purported to be.
The petitioners had to serve P&J Wood Floors, Inc. with the petition and supporting materials by November 11, 2022, and file an affidavit proving service by November 15, 2022. P&J’s opposition was due January 2, 2023. Any reply from the petitioners was due January 16, 2023.
Disposition
Judge Gregory H. Woods entered an order setting filing, service, and briefing requirements. The opinion did not decide whether the arbitration award should be confirmed and did not state that the petition was granted or denied.
