Question Presented (from Petition)

Does a non-frivolous appeal of a denial of a motion to compel arbitration divest district courts of jurisdiction, causing proceedings to be stayed automatically, as the Third, Fourth, Seventh, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuits have held, or does the appealing party have to satisfy the traditional discretionary test for a stay, as the Second, Fifth, and Ninth Circuits have held?

Question Presented (AI Summary)
