Date Filed Document Text
November 2, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 15 PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Parties' Joint Stipulation to Stay and Transfer Case to Arbitration (DE #14 ) ("Joint Stipulation"). Section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") provides: If any suit or proceeding be brought in any of the courts of the United States upon any issue referable to arbitration under an agreement in writing for such arbitration, the court in which such suit is pending, upon being satisfied that the issue involved in such suit or proceeding is referable to arbitration under such an agreement, shall on application of one of the parties stay the trial of the action until such arbitration has been had in accordance with the terms of the agreement, providing the applicant for the stay is not in default in proceeding with such arbitration. 9 U.S.C. 3. "The FAA places arbitration agreements on equal footing with all other contracts and sets forth a clear presumption--a 'national policy'--in favor of arbitration." Parnell v. Cash Call, Inc., 804 F.3d 1142, 1146 (11th Cir. 2015) (citing Buckeye Check Cashing, Inc. v. Cardegna, 546 U.S. 440, 443 (2006)).Having reviewed the Joint Stipulation and the record, the Court finds that a valid arbitration agreement exists and the Parties agree to its enforceability in this action. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Parties are COMPELLED TO PROCEED TO ARBITRATION regarding all matters in dispute in compliance with the terms of the agreement. This case is STAYED pending the resolution of the arbitration. All pending motions are DENIED AS MOOT. The Parties shall file a status report WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS of the completion of arbitration. This case is CLOSED for administrative purposes. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams on 11/2/2023. (er01)
