U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-2046
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Shepherd and Kobes, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Arbitration. The underlying issue in this case,
indemnification for work on a particular project, was not addressed in a
prior settlement agreement or state court litigation and the settlement
agreement did not terminate the parties' purchase agreement or the
purchase agreement's arbitration clauses; the district court did not err
in dismissing the action in the order compelling arbitration, as the
Federal Arbitration Act permits a court to dismiss an action rather than
stay it when it is clear the entire controversy between the parties will
be resolved by the arbitration.
