Court granted motion to compel arbitration of all non-Title VII claims and stayed the case pending outcome of arbitration, finding the arbitration agreement enforceable pursuant to the FAA. Court concluded defendant did not waive or abrogate its right to enforce the agreement, finding that defendant did not fail to timely demand arbitration; defendant did not waive its right to compel arbitration by failing to complete the dispute resolution process requested or by failing to proceed with arbitration after plaintiff withdrew her demand for arbitration; and the arbitration agreement has not expired. Court concluded the arbitration agreement was valid and enforceable, finding at most modest procedural unconscionability, but no substantive unconscionability. –Marchand v. Northrop Grumman, 2017
Court granted in part defendant’s motion to compel bilateral arbitration of plaintiff’s claims and stayed case. Court held that, prior to the Supreme Court’s resolution of a question arising in a different case, which would thereby resolve a central question in the instant case, a stay is wholly appropriate. –Roman v. Northrop Grumman, 2016
