JON 0. NEWMAN, Circuit Judge:

The issue on this appeal is whether claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq., are subject to arbitration. The issue arises on an appeal by Juan Rodriguez-Depena from the September 30, 2016, judgment of the District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Eric N. Vitaliano, District Judge). The judgment granted the motion of Parts Authority, Inc., Michigan Logistics, Inc., and Northeast Logistics, Inc., aka Diligent Delivery Systems (“Diligent”) to compel arbitration, and dismissed the complaint alleging FLSA violations.
