Shirlene Gray sued her former employer, CitiFinancial Auto Credit Inc., and prospective employer, Sage Telecom, Inc., alleging retaliation under Title VII and various Texas state law claims including tortious interference, breach of fiduciary duty, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and conspiracy. The claims arose after a former CitiFinancial HR representative, aware of Gray's prior sexual harassment charge, questioned her during an interview with Sage, leading to Gray not being hired. CitiFinancial moved to compel arbitration based on a previously agreed-upon employment arbitration policy. The court granted CitiFinancial's motion, concluding that Gray's claims against CitiFinancial fell within the broad scope of the arbitration agreement, which covered employment-related disputes and former employees. Consequently, Gray's claims against CitiFinancial were dismissed without prejudice for arbitration, while her state law claims against Sage, which was not party to any arbitration agreement, were remanded to the 134th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas, due to the court declining supplemental jurisdiction after dismissing the federal claim.
