Petitioners Blackwater Security Consulting, LLC and Blackwater Lodge and Training Center, Inc. petitioned for an Order directing Richard P. Nordan, as ancillary administrator for the separate estates of Stephen S. Helvenston, Mike R. Teague, Jerko Gerald Zovko, and Wesley J.K. Batalona to proceed with arbitration in accordance with the Independent Contractor Service Agreements entered into between the decedents and Blackwater Security Consulting, LLC.
