3 min read

The latest free docket view at Unicourt is the Sunnova motion to compel arbitration.  I don’t know why it still shows “pending”  3 years later.

$49/month for Unicourt.   Could not find it on Google Scholar.

 

UPDATE:  Found the COMPLETE docket:

https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/40893512/Jack_McDuffie_v_Sunnova_Energy_Corporation_et_al

Sunnova’s motion to compel arbitration was denied (should have been denied as moot) after the plaintiff filed to dismiss.   Why did they dismiss?

Emailed attorney Wilcox 4/24/24.
