Background
Isabelle Carnot sued Assistcare Home Health Services, LLC. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute or the claims. The parties agreed by stipulation dated July 13, 2020, to arbitrate the dispute, and the court approved that agreement on July 14, 2020.

The closure was without prejudice to either party moving by letter to reopen the case within 30 days after the arbitration proceedings conclude.
