2014-07-02 29 0 (IN CHAMBERS): ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS AND COMPEL ARBITRATION 13 by Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald: The Court finds that the Agreements are valid and binding on Plaintiffs. The Court finds further that while the Agreements involve a small amount of procedural unconscionability because they are adhesive contracts, they are not substantively unconscionable.

This Order shall constitute notice of entry of judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58. Pursuant to Local Rule 58-6, the Court ORDERS the Clerk to treat this Order, and its entry on the docket, as an entry of judgment. IT IS SO ORDERED.
