Hicks v. Cadle, No. 10-1575 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant Daniel Cadle appealed a district court order that confirmed an arbitration award against him on Plaintiff Kerry Hicks’s claims of defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Defendant’s objections concerned whether the dispute was properly referred to arbitration. The district court rejected Defendant’s objections for various reasons, holding that he was judicially estopped from challenging the arbitrator’s authority and that the dispute was properly referred to arbitration. Upon review of the lower court record, the Tenth Circuit affirmed the district court’s decision, holding judicial estoppel prevented Defendant from raising the arbitration issue on appeal. The Court declined to address issues unrelated to that rationale and dismissed Defendant’s case.
