Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: John B. Alfs, Cynthia M. Filipovich, CLARK HILL, Detroit, Michigan, for Appellant/Cross-Appellee.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: Jessica L. Ellsworth, Jo-Ann Tamila Sagar, HOGAN LOVELLS US LLP, Washington, D.C., for Appellee/Cross-Appellant.

Judge(s): SUTTON, Chief Judge; SILER and READLER, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit

SUTTON, Chief Judge. Arabian Motors Group and Ford Motor Company have been in and out of arbitration and federal court for nearly six years with respect to the same dispute. At issue at this stage of the case is whether the district court should have stayed or dismissed this federal court action to permit the remaining claims to be arbitrated under the Federal Arbitration Act. On this record, the court should have stayed the action. We reverse the district court’s contrary decision.
