Mendel v. Uber Techs.

In brief

The Supreme Court refused to hear the case, leaving the Ninth Circuit's ruling in place; it did not decide whether Uber drivers fall within the exemption.

Where it stands

Decided

Decided · May 26, 2020

What it’s about

The Court denied review of a Ninth Circuit case involving whether Uber drivers fall within the Federal Arbitration Act’s exemption for transportation workers engaged in interstate commerce. The Ninth Circuit’s ruling therefore remained in effect.

Who it affects

The order left the Ninth Circuit's ruling in place for the parties in this case, without a Supreme Court decision on whether the exemption covers Uber drivers.
