Utah Court Stays Claims in Litigation Pending Completion of Arbitration
May 05, 2020

After the plaintiffs filed a fourth amended complaint, certain defendants sought to compel arbitration and stay further federal court proceedings. The plaintiffs did not oppose the motions, which argued that the subject agreements contained broad arbitration clauses, which required arbitration based on the plaintiffs' claims in the lawsuit. The court concurred, granting all three motions to compel and staying the claims against the defendant-movants pending the completion of arbitration.

J. White, L.C. v. Wiseman, No. 2:16-cv-01179 (D. Utah Apr. 9, 2020).
