Mayer Zeiler, et al. v. Joseph Deitsch, et al.
Date: 08-23-2007
Case Number: 06-1893-cv, 06-5617-cv
Judge: Jon O. Newman
Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on appeal from the Eastern District of New York, Kings County
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Nathan Lewin, Wash., D.C. (Alyza D. Lewin,
Lewin & Lewin, LLP, Wash., D.C.; Thomas A.
Kissane, Schlam Stone & Dolan, LLP, New
York, N.Y., on the brief), for Defendants-
Counterclaimants-Appellants.
Defendant's Attorney:
Leslie A. Lupert, New York, N.Y. (Sarah P.
Karwan, Orans, Elsen & Lupert LLP, New
York, N.Y., on the brief), for Plaintiffs-
Counter-Defendants-Appellees.
The primary issue on the first of these two appeals, which were
heard in tandem, is the narrow question of whether, in the
circumstances of this case, an arbitration panel composed of three
rabbis can proceed to make an award after one member has resigned from
the panel. The second appeal concerns the validity of a court order
enforcing a judgment that confirmed the three-member panel's earlier
awards requiring accountings. These matters arise on an appeal in No.
06-1893 from a judgment of the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of New York (Sandra L. Townes, District Judge) vacating the two-member panel's arbitration awards and confirming
eight accounting awards previously made by the full three-member panel
and an appeal in No. 06-5617, from an order enforcing the District
Court's judgment with respect to the accounting awards. We conclude
that the arbitration panel was entitled to continue after one member's
resignation, that the accounting awards were properly confirmed, and
that the enforcement order was properly entered. In No. 06-1893, we
reverse the District Court's judgment in part, affirm in part, and
remand, and in No. 06-5617, we affirm.
