Opinion

September 1, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Carol Arber, J.).

Petitioner's contention that respondent's RICO claims are not arbitrable is contrary to precedent (Shearson/Am. Express v McMahon, 482 U.S. 220, 238-242; Matter of Helmsley Enters. [Lepercq, Deneuflize Co.], 168 A.D.2d 224, 226). Further, petitioner waived his right to seek a stay by participating in the arbitration. (Matter of National Cash Register Co. [Wilson], 8 N.Y.2d 377.)

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Carro, Ellerin and Asch, JJ.
