Judge Stays Briefing on Petition to Vacate Arbitration Ruling

A U.S. District judge for Southern New York signed an order Wednesday (docket 1:22-cv-10119) staying briefing on Jiakeshu Technology’s petition to vacate an arbitration ruling in Amazon’s favor pending resolution of Jiakeshu’s motion to remand the petition to New York Supreme Court where the petition originated. Amazon sought the clarification Tuesday (see 2301110005). Judge Ronnie Abrams’ Dec. 22 order sets a Feb. 10 deadline for Amazon to oppose Jiakeshu’s motion to remand. Jiakeshu seeks recovery of $50,000 in sales proceeds that an arbitrator let Amazon keep after Amazon deactivated Jiakeshu’s third-party store for improperly paying customers to submit positive reviews.
