ORDER

Parties beyond Pepper and Caraway may participate in the arbitration. And its makes good sense for them to do so. But absent some agreement by other parties to arbitrate, the Court will not compel their participation. Arbitration is wholly a matter of how X, Y, or Z have agreed to handle disputes. Nitro Distributing, Inc. v. Alticor, Inc., 453 F.3d 995, 999 (8th Cir. 2006). While there are some exceptions to this principle, Reid v. Doe Run Resources Corp., 701 F.3d 840, 846 (8th Cir. 2012), Caraway has not argued that any of those exceptions apply. The Court's prior Order covered only the signatories to the arbitration agreement. Motion to clarify, No. 37, granted.

So Ordered.
