Because only the question of whether the case is arbitrable is being arbitrated and not the case itself yet, it is being stayed while arbitrability is determined, rather than dismissed.

J. Burroughs partially grants a former employer’s motion to dismiss its Pakistani former employee’s claims that they discriminated and retaliated against him based on his race, national origin and religion. The former employee waited beyond the statute of limitations to file a lawsuit, and while he did try to resolve the discriminatory and threatening behavior he was subjected to internally, which can account for some of the time it took for him to file a complaint, there was still ample time after he had tried to address the matter internally and management failed to support him where he could have filed a complaint.
