Heinen v. Northrop Grumman Corp.

Dist. Ct. did not err in dismissing instant complaint alleging that defendant-employer failed to pay plaintiff-employee relocation costs as promised where parties had entered into "Dispute Resolution Process" that required both parties to arbitrate "employment-related" disputes. Ct. rejected plaintiff's claim that arbitration clause covered only issues contained in separate employment contract. Ct. also rejected defendant's request for sanctions, even though it deemed instant appeal frivolous, where defendant had not made said request in separate motion, as required under Fed. R. App. P. 38.
