Opinion
SEPULVEDA, J.
Appellants Catherine Louise Briggs and Scott Briggs filed a petition for a writ of mandate (Code Civ. Proc., § 1085) to direct a private arbitrator to lift a stay he had imposed in the arbitration of a dispute concerning an uninsured motorist policy issued by GEICO General Insurance Company (GEICO). The trial court denied the petition, finding that the arbitrator did not err in issuing a stay. We conclude that the trial court lacked the authority to review a discretionary, prehearing order of an arbitrator, and we affirm the judgment on that basis.
