UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ELIZABETH BELYEA,

Plaintiff,

v.

GREENSKY, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 20-cv-01693-JSC 

ORDER REQUESTING 

SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING ON

MOTION TO COMPEL 

ARBITRATION

Re: Dkt. No. 5

Elizabeth Belyea brings this putative class action against GreenSky of Georgia, LLC and 

GreenSky, LLC (collectively “GreenSky”) alleging violations of California’s consumer protection 

and lending and credit services laws. GreenSky’s motion to compel arbitration is now pending 

before the Court. (Dkt. No. 5.) In its reply brief, GreenSky raised two new arguments in support 

of its theory that it can enforce the at-issue arbitration agreement as a non-signatory: (1) as an 

agent of the lender SunTrust Bank or (2) based on equitable estoppel. GreenSky also offered new 

evidence in support of its reply. The Court cannot consider these arguments and evidence without 

giving Plaintiff the opportunity to address them. See Zamani v. Carnes, 491 F.3d 990, 997 (9th 

Cir. 2007).

Accordingly, the May 21, 2020 hearing is VACATED. Plaintiff shall file a supplemental 

brief of no more than 7 pages addressing these two issues by June 1, 2020. GreenSky’s 

supplemental reply of no more than 5 pages is due June 8, 2020. Upon completion of the briefing, 

the Court will notify the parties of the new hearing date, if any. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 18, 2020
