Budakian v Nagel Roofing, Inc.
Annotate this CaseDecided on April 29, 2009
APPELLATE TERM OF THE SUPREME COURT, FIRST DEPARTMENT
PRESENT: McKeon, P.J., Schoenfeld, Heitler, JJ
570768/08.
Peter D. Budakian, Plaintiff-Respondent,
against
Nagel Roofing, Inc., Defendant-Appellant.
Defendant appeals from an order of the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court, New York
County (Joan M. Kenney, J.), entered August 26, 2008, which denied its motion to vacate an
arbitrator's award in favor of plaintiff.
Per Curiam.
Order (Joan M. Kenney, J.), entered August 26, 2008, affirmed, without costs.
Defendant's motion to vacate the small claims arbitration award was properly denied on this
record. Defendant signed an arbitration consent form in which it agreed that the award was final
and expressly waived its right to appeal (see 22 NYCRR 208.41[n][2]). Defendant has
failed to show that the arbitrator's award was the result of bias or prejudice, and its factual
arguments addressed to
the merits are not reviewable on appeal.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
