Kindred Nursing Centers Limited Partnership v. Wellner

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on October 9, 2018.

Docket No.17-1318
Op. BelowKy.

Issue

Whether Section 2 of the Federal Arbitration Act pre-empts the Kentucky Supreme Court"s newly-announced rule holding that a power of attorney authorizing the holder to enter into "contracts of every nature in relation to both real and personal property" does not encompass arbitration agreements because those agreements instead relate to rights to trial by jury and access to court.
