MAINE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT Decision: 2003 ME 52 Docket: Cum-02-567 Argued: January 14, 2003 Decided: April 15, 2003 Panel: Reporter of Decisions CLIFFORD, RUDMAN, DANA, ALEXANDER, CALKINS, and LEVY, JJ. MICHAEL HALE et al. v. DEMETRI ANTONIOU PER CURIAM Demetri Antoniou appeals from an order entered in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Humphrey, J.) denying his motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, to stay judicial proceedings. The underlying action involves claims Michael and Edie Hale brought on behalf of their son, Jordan, against Antoniou for intentional infliction of emotional distress and civil assault. Antoniou asserts that the Superior Court erred in concluding that USA Hockey Inc. s arbitration procedure did not govern the Hales claims. Because the Court is evenly divided, we affirm the judgment. The entry is: Judgment affirmed. 2 Attorney for plaintiffs: Michael J. Waxman, Esq. (orally) P O Box 375 Portland, ME 04112-0375 Attorney for defendant: Peter J. DeTroy, Esq. Russell B. Pierce Jr., Esq. (orally) Norman, Hanson & DeTroy, LLC P O Box 4600 Portland, ME 04112-4600
