Judge to Decide Ring’s Arbitration Motion Without Oral Argument

Defendants Ring and Home Depot's motion to compel plaintiff Alison White’s dispute to arbitration or alternatively dismiss her second amended complaint is “appropriate” for a decision with oral argument, said a minute order Thursday (docket 2:22-cv-06909) from U.S. District Judge John Walter for Central California in Los Angeles. He vacated a hearing on the motion that had been set for Monday. White, a practicing attorney, alleges Ring and Home Depot misrepresented in their ads and marketing materials that Ring’s Jobsite Security 5-Piece Starter Kit, when properly configured, will contact the authorities automatically if a home's security system is breached (see 2212090048). The defendants deny any wrongdoing.
