J. Lopez denies an energy company's motion to compel arbitration concerning sexual assault claims brought by a laborer against a superintendent, which allegedly resulted in her termination after she filed a complaint. Although the employee does not dispute the existence of a signed arbitration agreement, she sufficiently argues that the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act bars arbitration of her dispute.

J. Lopez partially grants both the Uber passenger and Uber's insurer's motions for summary judgment in an uninsured-motorist suit with additional defamation claims. The passenger's tortious breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, tort, and defamation claims against Uber's insurer are dismissed, as is his claim for unfair claims adjustment practices. His claims for bad-faith or contractual breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and breach of contract claims against the insurer and tort claims against the two uninsured drivers survive, as do the insurer's crossclaims against the drivers. Uber's insurer's crossclaim against the passenger's insurer is dismissed, while the passenger's insurer's claim against Uber's insurer is maintained.

J. Lopez grants Lowe's motion to arbitrate wage payment violation claims brought by a proposed class of employees. Although the employee signed a form to opt out of an agreement to arbitrate in 2017, the parties dispute whether the opt-out was valid as to the employee's 2014 employment agreement. It is undisputed that the 2014 arbitration agreement is valid and that it calls for an arbitrator to make decisions regarding arbitrability issues. Therefore, an arbitrator must determine whether the 2017 opt-out form exists, is valid and is enforceable.
