Court OKs Comcast Stay in Arbitration Fight, Pending SCOTUS Cert Petition

Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judges Margaret McKeown, William Fletcher and Mary Murguia approved Comcast's ask to stay issuance of a mandate in a cable TV pricing lawsuit pending the MVPD's seeking of a Supreme Court petition for writ of certiorari (see 2001220020). That's according to a docket 18-15288 order (in Pacer) Thursday. It said the mandate, on Comcast's efforts to get the litigation handled via arbitration, will remain stayed until final SCOTUS disposition.
