Before BARKETT, HULL and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

HULL, Circuit Judge: Plaintiff-Appellant Harold Leonel Pineda Lindo (“Lindo”) appeals the district court’s enforcement of the arbitration agreement in his employment contract with Defendant-Appellee NCL (Bahamas) Ltd. (“NCL”). Lindo sues NCL on a single count of Jones Act negligence, pursuant to 46 U.S.C. § 30104. He claims that NCL breached its duty to supply him with a safe place to work. The district court granted NCL’s motion to compel arbitration and dismissed Lindo’s complaint.

Given the New York Convention and governing Supreme Court and Circuit precedent, we must enforce the arbitration clause in Plaintiff Lindo’s employment contract, at least at this initial arbitration-enforcement stage. After review and oral argument, we affirm the district court’s order compelling arbitration of Lindo’s Jones Act negligence claim.
