23-1812
Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, New Albany Division. Judge Sarah Evans Barker. Reverses the district court’s dismissal of Mary Rodgers-Rouzier’s Fair Labor Standards Act complaint against American Queen Steamboat Operating Company. Finds the the district court was in error when it went beyond sending the question of Rodgers-Rouzier’s argument waiver’s validity to arbitration and instead rejected her argument’s premise, suggesting that the waiver was entirely lawful. Also finds that, in this case, Indiana law would not compel Rodgers-Rouzier to arbitrate, for the simple reason that the agreement expressly states that it is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Remands for further proceedings.
