United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

June 8, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Pieter Teeuwissen (argued), Dale Danks, Jr. (argued), Danks, Simon & Teeuwissen, Jackson, MS, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Jacqueline Marie Stroh (argued), Crofts & Callaway, San Antonio, TX, Louis Hanner Watson, Jr., Watson & Heidelberg, Jackson, MS, for Defendants-Appellants.

Before KING, Chief Judge, and REAVLEY and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.


KING, Chief Judge:

Plaintiff Amanda May sued her employer Higbee Co. (d/b/a Dillard's) and a supervisor for employment discrimination under Title VII. The defendants moved to compel arbitration and to stay the judicial proceedings. The district court denied the motion, ruling that May had not assented to her employer's arbitration program. Concluding that the district court should have ordered arbitration pursuant to the parties' binding agreement, we reverse.
