ORDER ON JOINT MOTION TO COMPEL ARBITRATION AND STAY PROCEEDINGS

C. ASHLEY ROYAL, Senior District Judge.

Before the Court is the parties' Joint Motion to Compel Arbitration and Stay Proceedings. Plaintiff Trakilisha Simmons filed this action against Defendant First Premier Bank, N.A. alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq. ("TCPA") and the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, O.C.G.A. § 10-1-399. ("FBPA"), due to alleged "robocalls" made to Plaintiff by Defendant. For the reasons stated below, the parties' Motion [Doc. 8] is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART.

In the instant Motion, the parties represent they have entered into an arbitration agreement, attached as Exhibit A, and request the Court compel arbitration, stay all proceedings, and reserve jurisdiction to enforce the final award of the arbitrator. The parties' arbitration agreement states it is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. ("FAA"), that arbitration is final and binding, and that it applies to all claims "regardless of legal theory and remedy sought, including, but not limited to claims based in . . . statutory law (federal and state)."1 Because the FAA governs the dispute between the parties, the Court is obligated to compel arbitration.2 However, the Court finds that when all claims are subject to arbitration, the proper course of action is not to stay all proceedings, but to dismiss the case without prejudice.3 "Given our ruling that all issues raised in this action are arbitrable and must be submitted to arbitration, retaining jurisdiction and staying the action will serve no purpose."4

Therefore, the parties' Motion [Doc. 8] is GRANTED as to compelling arbitration in this case, but DENIED as to staying the proceedings and retaining jurisdiction. Thus, Plaintiff's Complaint is DISMISSED with prejudice. Accordingly, the Clerk is DIRECTED to administratively close this case.

SO ORDERED.
