Petition for certiorari denied on January 14, 2019
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
17-1423 4th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2018

Issues: (1) Whether a court must grant a motion to compel arbitration of the gateway question of arbitrability, even where a contract containing an arbitration clause is unrelated to the parties’ instant dispute, or whether the court should deny the motion where the arbitrability argument is “wholly groundless”; and (2) whether the express intent of the parties to resolve arbitrability through the courts consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act is superseded by the general broad reference to commercial arbitration rules.
