What happened
In Trustees of the New York City District Council of Carpenters v. Al Hot, the petitioners asked the court to confirm an arbitration award. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute or award.
The court said confirmation proceedings are treated like motions for summary judgment. It ordered the petitioners to file and serve any additional supporting materials by March 18, 2024. Al Hot, Inc.’s opposition, if any, was due April 8, and the petitioners’ reply, if any, was due April 15.
The court also required the petitioners to serve the petition, supporting papers, and the order under Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and to file proof of service. Judge Margaret M. Garnett issued the order; it set a schedule and did not decide whether the arbitration award should be confirmed.

Background
On February 20, 2024, the petitioners filed a petition asking the court to confirm an arbitration award. The opinion does not provide details about the arbitration, the award, or the parties’ underlying dispute.
Court’s Analysis
The court stated that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award are treated as akin to a motion for summary judgment. The order did not analyze the validity of the award or decide the petition.
Order
The court ordered the petitioners to file any additional materials supporting confirmation and serve them by March 18, 2024. Al Hot, Inc.’s opposition, if any, was due April 8, 2024, and the petitioners’ reply, if any, was due April 15, 2024.
The court also ordered the petitioners to serve the petition, all supporting papers, and the order on Al Hot, Inc. under Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by March 18, 2024. The petitioners had to file an affidavit confirming service by March 19, 2024. The order therefore established filing and service deadlines rather than resolving the request to confirm the arbitration award.
