United States Ninth Circuit

The district court properly denied defendant's motion to compel arbitration in a class action alleging violations of federal and Washington state law, where: 1) defendant was not a party to the contract containing the arbitration clause; and 2) the district court correctly concluded under Washington law that the defendant was not entitled to invoke the arbitration clause as a third-party beneficiary or through equitable estoppel.
