JOAN M. AZRACK, District Judge.
Before the Court is the unopposed petition of petitioners Trustees of the Northeast Carpenters Health, Pension, Annuity, Apprenticeship, and Labor Management Cooperation Funds to confirm an "Audit Order and Deficiency Award" issued against respondent Arbor Concrete Corp., on April 16, 2016. (Am. Pet., Ex. G, ECF No. 11.)
Petitioners had previously filed, on July, 8, 2015, a petition to confirm an "Audit Order and Deficiency Award" issued against respondent on May 23, 2015 (the "2015 Arbitration Award"). (
On April 16, 2016, the arbitrator issued a revised order and award against the respondent (the "2016 Arbitration Award"). The 2016 Arbitration Award directs respondent to pay petitioners the sum of $888,419.90, consisting of:
The 2016 Arbitration Award also directed respondent to (1) make all "future contributions" in a prompt and timely manner; (2) submit to an audit at petitioners' discretion; (3) make available to the petitioners or authorized representatives any and all books and records petitioners deem necessary to conduct an audit; (4) pay for all costs relating to the audit in the event that petitioners request one; and (5) to pay for all court costs incurred to enforce the 2016 Arbitration Award. (Am. Pet., Ex. G at 2-3.)
On September 12, 2016, petitioners served a copy of the amended petition and its supporting memorandum of law on respondent via the New York Department of State's Division of Corporations, Records and Uniform Commercial Code. (Aff. of Service., ECF. No. 13.) Respondent has not responded to the amended petition.
Petitioners now ask the Court to: (1) confirm the 2016 Arbitration Award; (2) award petitioners $886,769.90; (3) make available to the petitioners or authorized representatives any and all books and records petitioners deem necessary to conduct an audit; and (4) award petitioners $3,875.29 in attorneys' fees and costs. (Am. Pet. at 7-8.) Because respondent has not answered the amended petition, the Court treats the amended petition as an unopposed motion for summary judgment.
After reviewing the amended petition, and its supporting documents, the Court grants petitioners summary judgment and confirms the 2016 Arbitration Award in the amount of $886,769.90 and orders respondent to make available to the petitioners or authorized representatives any and all books and records petitioners deem necessary to conduct an audit. Further, the Court awards petitioners attorneys' fees and costs totaling $3,875.29. The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment in favor of petitioners consistent with this order and close this case.
