COURT COMPELS INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION UNDER CONCEPCION
Anna Tractenberg filed a class action suit against Citigroup, Inc. Citigroup moved to compel individual arbitration. The court awaited decision from the U.S. Supreme Court in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, 563 U.S. —- (2011), and then, based on its holding, granted Citigroup’s motion to compel individual arbitration. On Tractenberg’s motion for reconsideration, the Court rejected her arguments that the language in her contract with Citigroup differed materially from the language at issue in Concepcion. Anna Tractenberg v. Citigroup, Inc., No. 10-3092 (USDC E.D. Pa. Sept. 1, 2011) (see Dec. 22, 2011 Order denying motion for reconsideration of Orders dated September 1, 2011 and denying request for 1292(b) appeal certification and earlier Order denying motion to opposing arbitration and seeking discovery).
