Douglas County, District Court Judge Molly B. Keane
Attorney for Appellant: Justin D. Eichmann (Houghton Bradford Whitted PC, LLO)
Attorney for Appellee: Steven R. Hogan II, Justin W. Pritchett (Fraser Stryker PC LLO)
Civil Action: Arbitration, Jurisdiction
Action Taken by Trial Court:
The district court denied Lund-Ross Constructor’s (LundRoss) motion to vacate or modify an arbitration award that awarded A Raymond Plumbing, Inc. (Raymond) $215,508.
Assignments of Error on Appeal:
Lund-Ross assigns four errors on appeal, while Raymond challenges appellate jurisdiction. Consolidated, the issues are: (1) whether the district court’s order denying Lund-Ross’ motion to vacate or modify the arbitration award was a final appealable order, (2) whether Lund-Ross was deprived of a fair arbitration hearing under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), and (3) whether Raymond waived its right to arbitrate.
