Court properly granted summary judgment for insurer and against insured, finding that insured's underinsured motorist (UIM) claim was barred because insured failed to execute HIPAA authorizations requested by insurer, and failed to appear for examination under oath. American Arbitration Association (AAA) rules did not prohibit compliance with terms of insurance policy. Review of UIM claim had not yet been completed as insured failed to comply with terms of claim submittsion, and thus there was no "disagreement" upon which to institute arbitration proceedings. (REYES and GORDON, concurring.)
