Petition to Confirm Arbitration Award

Moving Party: Petitioner Glaser Weil Fink Howard Jordan Shapiro LLP

Responding Party: None

T/R:     THE PETITION TO CONFIRM ARBITRATION AWARD IS GRANTED.

PETITIONER TO NOTICE.

If the parties wish to submit on the tentative, please email the courtroom at SMCdept54@lacourt.org with notice to opposing counsel (or self-represented party) before 8:00 am on the day of the hearing.

The Court considers the moving papers.  No opposition has been received. 

Any party to an arbitration in which an award has been made may petition the court to confirm, correct or vacate the award.  (CCP § 1285.)  Petitioner has complied with CCP § 1285.4: it has set forth the name of the arbitrator (Hon. Elizabeth A. White (Ret.)), attached documents evidencing an agreement to arbitrate, and attached a copy of the arbitration award. Respondent was served with the petition by substitute service.

The court file reflects that no response to the petition has been filed by Respondent.  (See CCP § 1290.6 [“A response shall be served and filed within 10 days after service of the petition”].)  As Respondent has not filed a timely response, the allegations of the petition are deemed admitted by Respondent.  (CCP § 1290.) The petition is GRANTED.
