15-1336
Issue:(1) Whether the California Court of Appeal erred by holding, in direct conflict withDirectTV v. Imburgia, that the parties’ agreement to apply the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) to govern their arbitration contract was unenforceable because the FAA’s transportation worker exemption applied; and (2) whether the California Court of Appeal erred by holding, in direct conflict with the Second, Eighth, and Eleventh Circuits, that an employee was exempt from the FAA as a transportation worker even though he was not employed in the transportation industry.
