5. DANIELS VS. SAN LEON APARTMENTS LLC 2025-01511127 MOTION FOR ORDER STAYING THIS ACTION UNTIL THE COMPLETION OF ARBITRATION
Defendant San Leon Apartments LLC’s Motion to Compel Arbitration is GRANTED.
Defendant moves to compel arbitration and to stay this action pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1281.7 and consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.) (“FAA”).
Defendant’s objections are OVERRULED.
Legal Standard
Both state and federal law provide for enforcement of arbitration agreements. (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 1280 et seq.; 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.)
The FAA governs contractual arbitration in written contracts involving interstate commerce, foreign commerce, or maritime transactions. (9 U.S.C. §§ 1, 2; AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion (2011) 563 U.S. 333, 336.) Under the FAA, the court must compel arbitration of claims covered by an enforceable arbitration agreement. (9 U.S.C. §§ 2, 4.) The moving party may also seek a stay of the action pending the outcome of the arbitration. (9 U.S.C. § 3.)
Similarly, under the Code of Civil Procedure sections 1281.2 and 1281.4, a party to an arbitration agreement may move to compel arbitration and stay the action if another party to the agreement refuses to arbitrate. “A petition pursuant to Section 1281.2 may be filed in lieu of filing an answer to a complaint. The petitioning defendant shall have 15 days after any denial of the petition to plead to the complaint.” (Code Civ. Proc., § 1281.7.)
Existence of Arbitration Agreement
An arbitration agreement governed by the FAA is enforceable “save upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract.” (9 U.S.C. § 2.) “In determining the rights of parties to
