Muao v. Grosvenor Properties, Ltd.

Opinion

PARRILLI, J.

Roy Muao appeals from an order granting defendants’ petition to compel arbitration and dismissing his action for wrongful termination. In his briefs, he challenges only that part of the order directing arbitration. Defendants move to dismiss the appeal because Muao’s appellate claim is not reviewable at this time. We conclude that under California law, the appeal must be dismissed as premature. Additionally, we reject Muao’s argument that review of the arbitration order is permissible at this time under section 16(a)(3) of the Federal Arbitration Act. (9 U.S.C. § 16(a)(3).)…
