2015Given that the agreement’s plain language purports to restrict the arbitrator’s power to hear only certain classes of disputes, we will not read an unwritten clause into the agreement that enlarges the arbitrator’s ability to rule on unenumerated (8th Cir. 2009); Qualcomm Inc. v. Nokia Corp., 466 F.3d 1366 , 1372–73 (Fed.Cir. 2006), we note that even under the FAA, the threshold question of what a contract says is a matter of state interpretational law.
