ORDER COMPELLING ARBITRATION
Defendants Interlock Security Group, Inc. and Derrick Lopez move to compel
arbitration (Doc. 26). Plaintiff Michael Ferraro failed to timely respond, so the
motion is treated as unopposed. See M.D. Fla. R. 3.01(c). Accordingly, the motion
is GRANTED. Pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, this case is STAYED
pending arbitration of this action. 9 U.S.C. § 3. The parties must file a joint status
report by June 30, 2024, and quarterly thereafter. Should the parties seek a court
order affirming the arbitration award, either party may move for such relief within
one year of the award. 9 U.S.C. § 9. A motion to vacate or modify the arbitration
award must be filed and served on the adverse party within three months of the
award’s issuance. 9 U.S.C. § 12. And any motion to confirm, modify, or correct the
arbitration award must include the appropriate papers. 9 U.S.C. § 13.
ORDERED on February 7, 2024.
