Judge: Mark H. Epstein, Case: 24SMCV02939, Date: 2024-11-25 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 24SMCV02939    Hearing Date: November 25, 2024    Dept: I

The unopposed motion to compel arbitration and stay the action is GRANTED.  Defendant has established that there is an arbitration clause in the operative contract (actually, two of them) and there is  no showing of unconscionability or the like.  Accordingly, the court GRANTS the motion to compel arbitration, STAYS the action pending the completion of the arbitration, and will SET A STATUS CONFERENCE for about 9 months from now to make sure that the arbitration is moving forward properly.
