The Energy Group, Inc. (TEG) appeals from an order which, in effect, denied its petition to compel arbitration of a dispute and instead stayed the arbitration until resolution of pending litigation. We first hold that the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA; 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) has preempted Code of Civil Procedure section 1281.2, subdivision (c), to the extent it is used to stay arbitration under an agreement governed by the FAA. Second, we hold that the trial court should have granted the petition to compel arbitration Accordingly, we reverse.
