IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD HUSE and JEFF DUNCAN,

Plaintiffs, CIV. S-04-0227 DFL/JFM

v.

ORDER

AUBURN HONDA, JAY COOPER, JIMMY

RAY MULLINS, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR

CO., and DOES 1-30,

Defendants.

_________________________________/ 

On September 21, 2004, the court granted a motion for

summary judgment in favor of defendants Auburn Honda, Jay Cooper,

and Jimmy Ray Mullins, finding that the arbitration agreement

between plaintiffs and defendants was enforceable. (9/21/2004

Order at 16.) Plaintiffs now ask that the court order all

parties to proceed to trial under either 9 U.S.C. § 4 or

California Code of Civil Procedure § 1281(c). The primary basis

for the motion is that American Honda is not party to the

arbitration agreement.

By order of the same date, the court has granted American

Honda’s separate motion for summary judgment as to all claims

against it. Without American Honda, the underpinning of

plaintiffs’ motion is removed. Therefore, plaintiffs’ motion is

DENIED. The parties’ related motions for sanctions are also

DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
