1Opinion of the Court
JOHN R. GIBSON, Circuit Judge.
James Morgan, a former account executive for Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Company, sued the brokerage firm for slander and prima facie tort. The district court 1 granted Smith Barney’s motion to stay the proceedings pending arbitration. The court reasoned that Morgan’s claims were covered by a clause in his employment contract which required him to arbitrate “any controversy ... arising out of employment or termination of employment.” Morgan appeals from that ruling. We affirm as to three of the counts in Morgan’s complaint and reverse as to the fourth.
