Practice point: CPLR 7511(e) mandates an automatic confirmation upon denial of a motion to vacate or modify an arbitration award.
Application: Supreme Court denied the petition to vacate the arbitration award, deemed the motion to dismiss the petition to be a motion to confirm the award, and granted the motion. The Appellate Division affirmed, noting that a motion to confirm was not necessary.
