18 DCT Granting Motion to Dismiss

An excerpt:

 

Because the Court determines that the forum-selection clause does not apply in this case and the Arbitration Agreement is not a product of fraud and satisfies the Sixth Circuit test to grant motions to compel arbitration, the Court finds that Defendant’s motion to dismiss and compel arbitration  [8] is GRANTED, the parties are ordered to Arbitrate this dispute, and the case is hereby DISMISSED.
