Broad Street and clearing broker Pershing LLC had their own agreement between them that allowed Broad Street to ask Pershing to trade securities for Shammami. Shammami and Pershing entered into a marginal agreement in 2005, which contained a pre-dispute arbitration clause.<\/p>\n<p>In 2007, Shammami filed a lawsuit alleging that Broad Street and Pershing traded securities and churned his account without honoring his stated investment goals. Pershing and its parent company Bank of New York Mellon LLC filed a motion to have the case dismissed.
