United States First Circuit
Escobar-Noble v. Luxury Hotels Int'l of Puerto Rico, Inc., 11-1506
In a suit alleging an unlawful retaliatory firing, in which the defendant moved to compel arbitration based on employment agreements containing an arbitration clause, the case is remanded to the district court with instructions to enter an order compelling arbitration, where resolution of the question whether the limitations period for two of the appellant's claims could be validly shortened by an arms-length agreement between employer and employee was for the arbitrator, not the court.
