Coinbase, Inc. v. Bielski

Summary

The Court held that when a district court denies a motion to compel arbitration, the district court must stay all pre‑trial and trial proceedings while an interlocutory appeal of that arbitrability decision under 9 U.S.C. § 16(a) is pending. The Court based this mandatory‑stay rule on the Griggs principle that an appeal divests the district court of control over the aspects of the case involved in the appeal.
