Case Number: 21STCV20809    Hearing Date: February 17, 2023    Dept: 28

     This looks to be an arbitration award.  Why is the Court's approval being requested?  Why isn't Plaintiff seeking to reduce the award to a judgment, instead?  If the Plaintiff is settling for the award, then the Court has issues with the Petition:
