5 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 6 WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE 7 8 NATIONAL SECURITIES CORPORATION, B RILEY WEALTH 9 MANAGEMENT CASE NO. 2:26-cv-00191-BAT 10 Petitioners, ORDER REGARDING SERVICE 11 v. 12 GLENN GARDNER, RICHARD FITZGERALD, JUDY FITZGERALD, 13 Respondents. 14
15 Petitioners filed a petition to confirm an arbitration award on January 19, 2026. Federal 16 Rule of Civil Procedure 4 does not govern service of such a petition. See Voltage Pictures, LLC 17 v. Gussi, S.A. de C.V., 92 F.4th 815 (9th Cir.). The statute governing confirmation of arbitration 18 awards, 9 U.S.C. § 9, says regarding service: “If the adverse party shall be a nonresident [of the 19 district where the arbitration award was made], then the notice of the application shall be served 20 by the marshal of any district within which the adverse party may be found in like manner as 21 other process of the court.” Petitioner alleges that the arbitration award was made in this district, 22 and it appears that Respondents may reside elsewhere. See Dkt. 1-1 at 1 (naming New York- 23 based counsel). Petitioners may move the Court to effect service by marshal, or may serve Respondents by other means, within the time allowed by the Federal Rules. 1 DATED this 20th day of January, 2026. 2 A 3 BRIAN A.
