Text: [9] Sanford also claims that the July 2002 order erred in limiting arbitration to her individual claim and dismissing her class allegations as moot.10 She relies primarily upon the Supreme Court’s intervening decision in Green Tree Financial Corp. v. Bazzle, 539 U.S. 444 (2003), which held that the question whether a contract permits class arbitration is an issue for the arbitrator to decide. We do not reach the merits of this argument. Because we vacate the order compelling arbitration of Sanford’s individual claim on other grounds, the class allegations are no longer moot. On remand, Sanford shall be permitted to seek relief on a class-wide basis. See DeMando v. Morris, 206 F.3d 1300, 1303 (9th Cir. 2000) (reviving plaintiff’s motion for class certification when disposition of appeal renders motion “no longer moot”).
