The plaintiff argued that contract provision should be voided because it was procedurally and substantively unconscionable, but the Court agreed with NFM that it was a “run of the mill” arbitration provision and that, to the extent it had a few potentially offending provisions, they could be blue penciled out. In addition to compelling arbitration, the Court stayed plaintiff’s PAGA claim pending the outcome of the arbitration.
