What happened
International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and other plaintiffs asked the court to confirm and enforce an arbitration award against That’s Amore Movie, LLC. The petition was filed under Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act.

The court ordered the plaintiffs to file any additional supporting materials and serve the petition and related papers by January 8, 2024. That’s Amore Movie’s opposition, if any, was due January 29, and the plaintiffs’ reply, if any, was due February 5.
Judge Jesse M. Furman issued the order on December 12, 2023. The order set procedures and deadlines but did not decide whether to confirm or enforce the arbitration award.

Background
On December 8, 2023, the plaintiffs filed a petition under Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 185 et seq., seeking to confirm and enforce an arbitration award against That’s Amore Movie, LLC.
Court’s Procedure
The court stated that it would treat the petition as it would a petition to confirm an arbitration award—“akin to a motion for summary judgment.” That means the court would evaluate the petition using the submitted materials rather than immediately conducting a trial.
The court ordered the plaintiffs to file any additional materials supporting the petition by January 8, 2024. The plaintiffs also had to serve the petition, all supporting papers, and the order on the defendant under Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by that date, then file an affidavit confirming service by January 9, 2024. The defendant’s opposition, if any, was due January 29, 2024, and the plaintiffs’ reply, if any, was due February 5, 2024.
Disposition
Judge Jesse M. Furman issued a scheduling and service order. The order did not rule on whether the arbitration award should be confirmed or enforced.
