Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
SECURITAS SECURITY SERVICES USA, INC.,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
No. 3:05-CV-445
Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*

bitration agreement she signed is invalid because of procedural unconscionabil-

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.

reaching or sharp practices” combined with the plaintiff’s “ignorance or inexperi-
ence.” Fleetwood Enter., Inc. v. Gaskamp,
280 F.3d 1069, 1077 (5th Cir.), modi-
fied on other grounds on denial of rehearing,
303 F.3d 570 (5th Cir. 2002) (per
curiam). Nothing in the record reflects the sort of sharp practices the courts
have required to establish unconscionability, nor has Boniaby indicated she was
incapable of understanding the acknowledgement she signed.
The district court properly compelled arbitration, and the judgment is
AFFIRMED.
