7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Brooks Goplin v. WeConnect, Incorporated

Case No.: 18-1193

Officials: MANION and BARRETT, Circuit Judges, and GETTLEMAN, District Judge.*

Focus: Court Error – Party to Contract

WeConnect, Inc. asks us to reverse the district court for making a factual mistake. The district court found that WeConnect was not a party to the arbitration agreement it sought to enforce. WeConnect says that the district court misunderstood the nature of its relationship with the entity named in the arbitration agreement. Because the district court did not clearly err, we affirm its ruling.
