Corry v. Dollar Tree Stores Inc. · No. 3:23-cv-04976
Judge
Vince Chhabria
Date
Oct. 18, 2023

Background

Cindy Corry brought the action against Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. and Does 1–20. The provided order does not state what claims Corry asserted or describe the underlying dispute.

Ruling

The court approved the parties’ joint stipulation, as modified. It ordered the entire action submitted to arbitration with JAMS and vacated all dates then set by the court. The order also states: “The case is dismissed without prejudice.”

Effect

The case was removed from the court’s active schedule and directed to arbitration. Because the case was dismissed without prejudice, the order does not state that refiling is barred. The order does not resolve the merits of Corry’s claims or Dollar Tree’s defenses.
