AG Sources
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on the Defendant’s Motion to Compel Arbitration and Dismiss or Stay Proceedings, filed April 30, 2010 (Doc. 5). The Court held a hearing on June 11, 2010. The primary issue is whether the arbitration agreement that Plaintiff Rozik Parrish signed as part of Defendant Valero Retail Holdings, Inc.’s (“Valero”) employment application is enforceable, if the consideration was based upon an offer of at-will employment and on a mutuality of obligation to arbitrate. Because the Court finds that adequate consideration supports the agreement to arbitrate, the Court will *1269 grant the motion to compel arbitration and will stay the case. -Parrish v. Valero (2010)
