Howard E. SAARI, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. SMITH BARNEY, HARRIS UPHAM & CO., INC., Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided June 29, 1992.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert D. Feighner, Keesal, Young & Logan, Long Beach, Cal., for defendant-appellant.

Michael L. Goldberg, Mandell, Lewis, & Goldberg, McLean, Va., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before: BRUNETTI, O'SCANNLAIN, and T.G. NELSON, Circuit Judges.


T.G. NELSON, Circuit Judge:

In the employer's appeal of a district court order refusing to order arbitration of a discharged employee's claims, we hold that the Federal Employee Polygraph Protection Act does not prohibit arbitration of claims where required by contract. We further hold that the state law claims for violation of the California Labor Code and slander are likewise subject to arbitration.
