IN THE UNITED ST ATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

WESTERN DIVISION 

GREGORY GREEN PLAINTIFF 

v. No. 4:18-cv-857-DPM 

DILLARD'S, INC. DEFENDANT 

ORDER 

The motion, NQ 5, is granted as specified. The parties made an 

agreement, valid under Arkansas law, to arbitrate all legal claims on an 

individual basis. The discrimination claims made are embraced by 

their agreement. That's sufficient, under the precedent argued, to move 

this case to the alternative forum. Lyster v. Ryan's Family Steak Houses, 

Inc., 239 F.3d 943, 945 (8th Cir. 2001). Defendant has not argued that 

the parties put the arbitrability question in the arbitrator's hands. 

Compare Rent-A-Center, West, Inc. v. Jackson, 561 U.S. 63, 67-70 (2010); 

Henry Schein, Inc. v. Archer and White Sales, Inc., NQ 17-1272, slip op. at 1, 

4 & 8 (2019). The Court therefore refers the parties' dispute to 

arbitration. This case is stayed and administratively terminated. Green 

v. SuperShuttle International, Inc., 653 F.3d 766, 769-70 (8th Cir. 2011). 

Any party may move, in due course, to reopen and enforce any arbitral 

decision. 9 U.S.C. § 3. If no party requests action before 17 January 

2020, the Court will lift the stay and dismiss this case without prejudice.
