Jernard Griggs worked as an independent associate for Ignite Holdings, Limited, a multi-level marketing program. When Griggs joined Ignite, he agreed to its policies and procedures, including an arbitration clause that incorporated the rules of the American Arbitration Association AAA and delegated the power to decide questions about the arbitrability of any claim to the arbitrator.
The district court granted the defendants' motion to compel arbitration and stayed the case pending arbitration. Because Griggs did not submit the dispute to arbitration and the case remained stayed for over a year, the district court ordered him to show cause why it should not dismiss the case for want of prosecution. Griggs responded that he disagreed with the district court's conclusion and was unwilling to pursue arbitration, but was ready to litigate the case before the court or appeal when it was dismissed.
The district court then dismissed the case without prejudice and Griggs appealed. In the event your lawsuit is dismissed, your lawyer will explain what your options are and how you can proceed in an attempt to continue seeking compensation.

Legal Comment Legal Comment. If a trial judge dismisses a case with prejudice on an entrapment ruling, and the State appeals this finding of entrapment, and the appellate court agrees and it is sent back to the lower court, can the case be tried due to the dismissal with prejudice? Or does the appellate court substitute its finding of no entrapment for the trial court's and the dismissal with prejudice is without effect and the State can go forward with the trial?
