Colo. Judge Grants Google’s Motion to Compel 5G Phone Claims to Arbitration

U.S. District Judge Regina Rodriguez for Colorado in Denver, adopting the recommendation of U.S. Magistrate Judge Reid Neureiter, granted Google’s motion to compel plaintiff Steven Nichols’ claims to arbitration and to stay the litigation, pending the outcome of that arbitration, said Rodriguez’s signed order Wednesday (docket 1:23-cv-01022). Nichols sued Google April 22, alleging he lost the ability to access 5G services on his Pixel 4a, Pixel 5 and Pixel 5a phones due to a Google software update. Google’s June 7 motion to compel said Nichols agreed to a mandatory arbitration provision when he set up his phones.
