Deyanira Baldera, Respondent.

—[*1]

Jaffe & Koumourdas, LLP, New York, N.Y. (Jean H. Kang of counsel), for appellant.

Harold Chetrick, P.C., New York, N.Y., for respondent.

In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 75 to vacate an arbitration award dated April 14, 2010, the petitioner appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rios, J.), entered August 9, 2010, which, upon an order of the same court dated July 16, 2010, denying the petition and confirming the award, is against it and in favor of Deyanira Baldera in the amount of the arbitration award.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

Contrary to the petitioner's contentions, the Supreme Court properly denied its petition to vacate an arbitration award, and confirmed the award (see generally CPLR 7511 [b] [1] [iv]; Matter of Channel Textile Co. v Items, Inc. of Cal., 156 AD2d 302 [1989]). Skelos, J.P., Leventhal, Belen and Roman, JJ., concur.
