Iserhien vs. Irvine Defendant The Irvine Company LLC’s motion to compel plaintiff Darya Holding Company LLC N. Iserhien to submit her claims to binding arbitration, and to stay the action pending arbitration is GRANTED.
Defendants move to compel arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.)
Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”): The FAA “applies where there is ‘a contract evidencing a transaction involving commerce.’” (Allied-Bruce Terminix Companies, Inc. v. Dobson (1995) 513 U.S. 265, 277 [quoting 9 USC § 2] [emphasis in original].) Here, the agreement to arbitrate expressly states, “The Lease and this arbitration and class action waiver Addendum shall be governed by, and all questions and disputes regarding arbitrability shall be determined in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.
Sections l-16, notwithstanding any other choice of law provision.” (Matosic Decl., ¶ 5, Ex. A.) Defendant has also shown it engages in interstate commerce. Specifically, Defendant leases apartments to out-of- state residents and its marketing efforts include nationwide internet advertising through social media websites and internet search engines. (Matosic Decl., ¶¶ 3, 4.) Therefore, the FAA applies.
A court’s role in considering a petition to compel arbitration under the FAA is limited to “determining (1) whether a valid agreement to arbitrate exists and, if it does, (2) whether the agreement encompasses the dispute at issue. If the response is affirmative on both counts, then the Act requires the court to enforce the arbitration agreement in accordance with its terms.” (Chiron Corp. v. Ortho Diagnostic Sys. Inc. (9th Cir. 2000) 207 F.3d 1126, 1130.) “In determining the rights of parties to enforce an arbitration agreement within the FAA’s scope, courts apply state contract law while giving due regard to the federal policy favoring arbitration.” (Pinnacle Museum Tower Assn. v.
Pinnacle Market Development (US), LLC (2012) 55 Cal.4th 223, 236 (Pinnacle).) “The party seeking arbitration bears the burden of proving the existence of an arbitration agreement, and the party opposing arbitration bears the burden of proving any defense, such as unconscionability.” (Ibid.)
Existence of a valid agreement to arbitrate: Plaintiff entered into a lease agreement on September 12, 2022. The lease agreement includes an Addendum for Arbitration of Disputes and Class Action Waiver which provides:
“Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Lease or your tenancy with Landlord, including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, and including the determination of the scope or applicability of this
