The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned away eyewear giant Luxottica’s bid for review of a Second Circuit decision that allowed certain claims in a proposed benefits class action to proceed in New York federal court rather than in arbitration.
The justices denied Luxottica’s petition for a writ of certiorari in an order list, declining to revisit the circuit court’s decision in February that kept some of former worker Janet Duke’s Employee Retirement Income Security Act case in court.

The proposed class of Luxottica retirees is represented by Radha (Rachana) Pathak of Stris & Maher LLP, and Michelle Yau, Dan Sutter, Kai Richter, and Ryan Wheeler of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC.
