Nate Bohlander, a Partner in the Philadelphia office, and Abhinandan Pandhi, an Associate in the Philadelphia office, recently obtained a dismissal on behalf of an adventure park client in a case initially filed in the Allegheny Court of Common Pleas.  In the complaint, Plaintiff set forth a claim of negligence against the park.  Attorneys Bohlander and Pandhi removed the matter to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania based upon diversity jurisdiction.  They then immediately filed a Motion to Dismiss, arguing, in pertinent part, that a valid, executed waiver precluded Plaintiff from pursuing rights in court, and, instead, that arbitration was the proper forum.  The Court agreed with this position, granted the Motion, dismissed the matter, and directed the parties to arbitration.
