February 27 = February 27.

The settlement agreement in Clendening v. Blucora, Inc. resolved an arbitration by requiring a series of settlement payments by one party (the former employer), conditioned on the acceptable provision of information by the other (the former employee). The arbitrator “retain[ed] jurisdiction” to hear a dispute about the adequacy of that information and order a deposition “to occur not later than February 27, 2022.”

A dispute arose, and the arbitrator ordered a deposition to occur after February 27. The Fifth Court held that this award exceeded the arbitrator’s powers and vacated it. No. 05-22-01190-CV (March 7, 2024) (mem. op.).
