GOLDBERG & ASSOCIATES, PC, NADER HAMADE, and JULIE GOLDBERG, Plaintiffs, v. C&A AUTO CARE, LLC, ALLEN BAYDOUN, ALI CHAMAS, and MOHAMED KAOUK, Defendants, and v. ALLEN BAYDOUN, Defendant/Cross-Defendant.
ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINE TO SUBMIT CASE TO BINDING ARBITRATION
DAVID M. LAWSON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On March 14, 2024, the Court granted the parties' request to suspend all case management deadlines and refer the case to binding private arbitration. The Court ordered the parties to complete the arbitration on or before May 31, 2024. The parties have presented to the Court a stipulation to extend the deadline by which the parties must complete arbitration to August 9, 2024 and the deadline to notify the Court of the completion of arbitration and to file a motion to enforce or vacate the award to August 16, 2024. The parties state that they were unable to complete the arbitration due to several scheduling conflicts but have agreed to schedule the arbitration between August 5 and 9. The Court has considered the parties' request and finds that it should be granted.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the parties shall complete the arbitration on or before August 9, 2024.
It is further ORDERED that the parties jointly shall notify the Court when arbitration is completed, and any party thereafter may move to reopen the case to enforce or challenge the arbitration award as permitted by law and seek judgment thereon on or before August 16, 2024.
