PER CURIAM:
  
   *
  

  Plaintiff-Appellant Steve Weinberg argues that the district court erred when it granted the motion to compel arbitration and to dismiss the petition filed by Defendants-Appellees National Football League Players Association (“NFLPA”), Richard Berthleson, Gene Upshaw, Tom DePaso, Trace Armstrong, John Collins, Keith Washington, Tony Agnone, Howard Shat-sky, and Mark Levin. Having reviewed the briefs, heard oral argument, and considered the record, we agree with the district court that all of Weinberg’s claims against the aforementioned Defendants-Appellees fall within the scope of the arbitration clause in Section 5 of the NFLPA Regulations. Accordingly, we AFFIRM the grant of the motion. However, we VACATE the district court’s order regarding Defendant-Appellee Roger Kaplan, and we INSTRUCT the district court to consider Kaplan’s motion to dismiss on remand.
 

  AFFIRMED IN PART, VACATED IN PART, REMANDED.
