Gunderson, C. J., and Batjer, J.,
dissenting:
With all respect, we believe the majority’s resolution of the above cases is incorrect.
We believe that, as the district court perceived, staying lien *392proceedings while one claimant arbitrates potentially warps the lien law and permits one claimant to deprive others of their statutory remedies, merely by invoicing a contract to which the others are not parties.
Even if no stay of proceedings be granted, the arbitration if compelled will often be futile; for the results will not be binding on the other claimants, who by statute have the right to have the court declare the existence, amount, and priority of all liens. See: NRS 108.235 etseq.
