collecting cases that “being required to arbitrate a dispute that the parties did not agree to arbitrate is per se irreparable harm.”
“[T]he first 12 Fisher prong is satisfied because [defendant] cannot dispute that he signed the Employment 13 Agreement and twice initialed the Arbitration Clause provisions.”
the court “has the authority to enjoin arbitration 3 proceedings where there is no valid, enforceable arbitration agreement between the parties,” such as 4 where a party waived his rights to arbitration
“Given that federal courts sometimes must determine whether a party has a right to arbitration (e.g., in the context of a motion to compel arbitration), it follows that the federal judiciary may enjoin arbitration if necessary to enforce its orders.”
