J. Cabret finds the superior court properly entered orders dismissing without prejudice and compelling arbitration in the employee's lawsuit in part claiming he was wrongfully fired by the resort company. The employee incorrectly argues that the parties' arbitration agreement only covers "previously asserted claims" and not the claims in his lawsuit. Because the plain language of the agreement clearly includes the employee's claims, and because he has failed to show the agreement is unconscionable, the superior court's orders stand even though it made an error in holding that the agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Affirmed.
