Sept. 14 Oral Argument Set in Verizon’s Appeal of Denial of its Arbitration Motion

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals scheduled in-person oral argument Sept. 14 at 9 a.m. PDT in Verizon’s appeal of the district court decision denying its motion to compel the dispute of 27 California consumers to arbitration (see 2303190001), said a text-only notice Friday (docket 22-16020). Though the case is scheduled for oral argument, the panel may decide to submit the case on the briefs instead, said the notice. Attorneys have the option to appear in person at the courthouse or remotely by video, it said. Opting to appear remotely by video won’t require a motion, it said: “The court expects and supports the fact that some attorneys and some judges will continue to appear remotely.”
