Outcome

The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court's decision to compel arbitration and dismiss the case without prejudice. The court found that the 2007 settlement agreement's arbitration clause superseded the original insurance policies' service-of-suit provisions and that the dispute fell within the scope of the arbitration agreement.
