  10. Digiovanni-Fisher v. Gold's Holding Corp.

    MOTION to Dismiss Case and, MOTION to Compel Arbitration

    Filed July 27, 2016

    A. The Legal Standard for Compelling Arbitration. It is well settled that the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., “compels judicial enforcement of a wide range of arbitration agreements,” including those contained in 5 Gold’s Holding Corp. is not a proper defendant in this litigation, as it is not Plaintiff’s employer. However, Gold’s Holding Corp. is covered by the arbitration agreement that governs Plaintiff’s claims and therefore seeks to compel arbitration.
