Defendants.

ORDER This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff Lauren Friley and defendant Credit Acceptance Corporation’s Joint Motion to Compel Plaintiff’s Claims Against Credit Acceptance to Arbitration and To Stay Such Claims (Doc. #21) filed on December 15, 2022. The parties state that Plaintiff’s claims against Credit Acceptance Corporation in this matter are covered by an arbitration provision contained within the December 19, 2014 Retail Installment Contract.

Upon review, the Court finds good cause to grant the motion. See Lawson v. Life of the S. Ins. Co.,

648 F.3d 1166, 1170
