Arbitration Stay: “Settled Principles Of Law” Justify Peremptory Writ Staying Action While Application To Compel Arbitration Remains “Undetermined”

And Application To Compel Arbitration Remains “Undetermined” As Long As Dissatisfied Party Is Pursuing Appellate Review.

     The Fourth District, Division 2 made short shrift of this case, issuing a peremptory writ of mandate directing the Superior Court of Riverside County to vacate its order denying petitioner Carmax’s motion to stay the action for Labor Code violations while its appeal of the denial of its application to compel arbitration remains “undetermined.”  Carmax Auto Superstores California, LLC v. Superior Court, E062879 (4/2 April 15, 2015) (King, Ramirez, Hollenhorst) (unpublished).
