United States Second Circuit

District court improperly denied defendants' motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff Parisi's gender discrimination claim, and the order is reversed and remanded, where: 1) the arbitration agreement compelled arbitration of individual claims but not class claims; and 2) private plaintiffs do not have a substantive right to bring a Title VII class action utilizing the pattern-or-practice method of proof.
