Re: Hassan v. Arkansas Methodist Hospital Corporation, 3:10-cv-00100-WRW

Dear Counsel: 

I would like you to each brief the following issues by noon, Tuesday, May 11, 2010:

1. Whether the entirety of this arbitration clause is valid or otherwise enforceable under

Ark. Code Ann. § 16-108-201 (b)(2)’s “employer-employee disputes” language; 

2. If so, whether the disputed counterclaim is valid under this same language; 

3. And, whether the arbitration clause requires the arbiter to determine whether the

disputed counterclaim is within the scope of the arbitration clause. 

Cordially,

/s/ Wm. R. Wilson, Jr.

Original to Clerk of Court
