United States Fifth Circuit

Denial of defendants' motion for stay and to compel arbitration of an action brought by a chicken farmer who raised chickens for defendants under contractual agreement is reversed and remanded where the district court erred in relying on Mississippi law in addressing the issue of unconscionability, and, under Georgia law, the district court erred in finding the arbitration clause unconscionable.
