IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION

SCOTT JONES PLAINTIFF

No. 4:19-cv-369-DPM

WESTERN SIZZLIN FRANCHISE CORPORATION DEFENDANT

ORDER The unopposed motion, Ne 6, is granted as specified. The parties entered into a franchise agreement, in which they agreed to arbitrate any monetary claim related to that agreement “in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association....” Ne 7-1 at 48-49. Under those rules, the arbitrator has the power to decide questions of arbitrability. Ne 7-1 at 59. So whether the arbitration agreement applies to Jones’s claims is a question for the arbitrator, not the Court. Rent-A- Center, West, Inc. v. Jackson,

, 67-70 (2010); Henry Schein, Inc. v. Archer & White Sales, Inc.,

(2019). This case is stayed and administratively terminated. Green v. SuperShuttle International, Inc.,

(8th Cir. 2011). Any party may move, in due course, to reopen and enforce any arbitral decision.

. If no party requests action before 6 July 2020, the Court will lift the stay and dismiss this case without prejudice.

So Ordered. — AP vol. D.P. Marshall Jr. United States District Judge 3 Sanh aol?
