1Opinion of the Court
McLAUGHLIN, Circuit Judge.
This case arises from a dispute between Anthony L. Arciniaga and General Motors Corporation (“GM”). The merits of that dispute, however, are not today’s concern. Instead, our task is to determine if the Motor Vehicle Franchise Contract Arbitration Fairness Act of 2002 (the “MVFCAFA”) limits GM’s ability to enforce its arbitration agreement with Arci-niaga. The district court found that it does. We find that it does not. Thus, we reverse the district court’s denial of GM’s motion to compel arbitration and its grant of Areiniaga’s motion to stay arbitration.
