Baker v. American Express Financial Advisors
Plaintiff Robert Baker appeals from an order denying his motion to vacate an arbitration award and granting the motion of defendants and respondents American Express Financial Advisors and Stanley Cohen (sometimes referred to collectively as American Express) to confirm the award. We find no basis to vacate the arbitration award which dismissed appellants claims in their entirety. American Express met its burden under Code of Civil Procedure section 1281.2 to show the existence of an agreement to arbitrate the controversy and did not waive its right to arbitrate. Appellant failed to meet his burden to show the existence of one of the grounds for vacating the award outlined in section 1286.2.
The judgment is affirmed.
