No. 16), following oral argument on the motion, and for the reasons set forth in the accompanying Memorandum, it is ORDERED as follows:
Defendants represent that Matthews wrongly identified “Kering” as a Defendant and that the company's official name is Kering Americas, Inc. (See, e.g., Doc. No. 12; Doc. No. 12-2 at ¶ 1.)
1. Defendants' Motion to Compel Arbitration is GRANTED.
2. Defendants' Motion for Sanctions is DENIED without prejudice.
