OPINION & ORDER   Plaintiff Leonardo Galvez brings this breach of contract and fraud action against Defendants JetSmarter, Inc. (“JetSmarter”), JetSmarter Senior Membership Executive Brent Hollenbach, and John Does 1-4, officers and managers of JetSmarter, arising out of an agreement pursuant to which JetSmarter agreed to provide Plaintiff with certain travel-related services. Before me is Defendants’ motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s complaint and to compel arbitration. Because I find that the parties entered into a valid agreement to arbitrate and because they delegated the question of the scope of the agreement’s arbitration provision to the arbitrator, Defendants’ motion to compel arbitration is granted. However, Defendants’ motion to dismiss the action is denied and the proceeding will instead be stayed pending arbitration. Accordingly, Defendants’ motion is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. I.
