               Appellants.

Before: MURRAY, P.J., and HOEKSTRA and WILDER, JJ.

HOEKSTRA, J., (concurring in part, dissenting in part.)

       I agree and join with the majority in concluding that invoices containing arbitration
clauses are subject to arbitration. However, for the reasons stated by the majority in Cohen v
Park West Galleries, unpublished opinion per curiam of the Court of Appeals issued April 5,
2012 (Docket No. 302746), I respectfully disagree that invoices that do not contain arbitration
clauses are also subject to arbitration.

                                                          /s/ Joel P. Hoekstra

                                               -1-
