   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-3540
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Shepherd, Circuit Judge, and Strand, 
   District Judge] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. In a dispute over whether 
   terminated employees knowingly and voluntarily waived their rights and 
   claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act by accepting 
   benefits and signing waivers, the district court erred in denying General 
   Mills' motion to compel arbitration; no contrary Congressional command 
   overrides the Federal Arbitration Act's mandate to enforce the parties' 
   agreement to arbitrate ADEA claims.
