   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2664
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Melloy and Erickson, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Class Actions and Arbitration. For the court's prior opinion in the matter, see Sitzer v. Nat'l Ass'n of Realtors, 12 F.4th 853 (8th Cir. 2021). On remand, defendants moved to compel arbitration as to the unnamed class members who had signed a Listing Agreement to arbitrate their claims; the district court denied the motion to compel arbitration, and defendant Home Services appeals. The district court correctly concluded that the court - not an arbitrator - must address whether defendant Home Services can enforce the Arbitration Agreements; the court also correctly determined that defendant Home Services cannot enforce the Arbitration Agreements against the unnamed class members.
