ORDER DENYING MOTION TO COMPEL BINDING ARBITRATION

On May 15, 2015, Defendant The Finish Line, Inc. (“Finish Line”) — an athletic shoe and apparel retailer — moved to compel binding arbitration of the workplace discrimination claims of former sales associate Ritarose Capili. Dkt. No. 18 (“Mot.”). Both parties agree that: (1) Capili agreed to abide by Finish Line’s Employee Dispute Resolution Plan (the “Arbitration Agreement”) at the.outset of her employment; (2) Capili could not have worked for Finish Line without consenting to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) that the claims at issue in this case fall under the scope of the Arbitration Agreement.
