Pasche vs. Ox Car Care, Inc. 2026-01548650 Before the court is the unopposed petition filed by petitioner John Pasche (Petitioner) to confirm the arbitration award issued on February 4, 2026, in the amount of $53,663.50 against respondent Ox Car Care, Inc. dba Ox Warranty Group (Respondent). As more fully set forth below, the petition is GRANTED. The petition seeks to confirm the Final Arbitrator’s Consent Award entered by Michael H. Leb of American Arbitration Association’s Employment Arbitration Tribunal on February 4, 2026. (Copy attached as Attachment 8(c) to Petition.)
Code of Civil Procedure section 1290.2 provides, “A petition under this title shall be heard in a summary way in the manner and upon the notice provided by law for the making and hearing of motions, except that not less than 10 days’ notice of the date set for the hearing on the petition shall be given.” Once a party to an arbitration files a petition to confirm, correct, or vacate an award, a response must be filed and served within 10 days after service of the petition, unless a judge extends, or both parties agree to extend, this deadline. (Code Civ.
Proc., § 1290.6.) If a response is not filed by the deadline, the allegations of the petition are deemed admitted by the respondent. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1290

by Respondent. Further, the court finds the Petition complies with the requirements of Code of Civil Procedure section 1285.4. Accordingly, the arbitrator’s Award in favor of Petitioner is CONFIRMED. Petitioner’s request for an additional award of interest or attorney’s fees beyond the amounts stated in the award is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE because Petitioner has failed to submit calculations or evidence supporting such. (See Calcor Space Facility, Inc. v. Superior Court (1997) 53 Cal.App.4th 216, 224 [“In law and motion practice, factual evidence is supplied to the court by way of declarations”].) Indeed, the petition is not verified and there is no declaration submitted in support of it nor are there any calculations establishing the amount of interest sought. Petitioner’s counsel is ordered to give notice of this ruling.
