UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RIZWAN ALI,

Plaintiff,

v.

JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-01184-VC 

ORDER COMPELLING 

ARBITRATION AND DISMISSING 

CASE WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Re: Dkt. No. 61

Pursuant to the Ninth Circuit's mandate, Dkt. No. 58, Rizwan Ali is ordered to submit his 

claims against JP Morgan Chase to final and binding arbitration under the terms of the parties' 

arbitration agreement. And though 9 U.S.C. § 3 "seems to direct that the action 'shall' be stayed 

pending completion of arbitration," the Ninth Circuit has "held that, notwithstanding the 

language of § 3, a district court may either stay the action or dismiss it outright when, as here, the 

court determines that all of the claims raised in the action are subject to arbitration." 

Johnmohammadi v. Bloomingdale's, Inc., 755 F.3d 1072, 1073-74 (9th Cir. 2014). Accordingly, 

this case is dismissed without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 7, 2016
