Nguyen v. Tran
Kevin Tran and Linh Tran appeal from the trial court’s order granting Brian and Khanh Nguyen’s motion to confirm an arbitrator’s award. The arbitration resolved a dispute arising from a settlement agreement that unwound an investment and real estate transaction between the Nguyens and multiple parties, including the Trans, Pegasus Investment Group, LLC (Pegasus), and Shelley Investment, LLC (Shelley). As we explain, we dismiss Linh Tran’s appeal for lack of standing because the Nguyens did not seek or obtain an arbitration ruling against her. Kevin Tran forfeited the five issues he now attempts to raise for the first time on appeal because he did not assert them in his opposition to the Nguyens’ motion to confirm the arbitration award. We therefore affirm the trial court’s order granting the Nguyens’ motion to confirm the award. We also grant the Nguyens’ motion on appeal for $1,275 in sanctions for the Trans’ failure to follow the rules of appellate procedure.
