I concur in the holding that the nonsignatory plaintiffs, like the signatory plaintiffs, are bound by the arbitration agreements with SCI-Alabama and that the nonsignatory defendant SCI is not entitled to the protection of those arbitration agreements.

Fulmer, 883 So.2d 621, 637 (Ala. 2003) (Johnstone, J., concurring in the rationale in part and concurring in the judgment). *Page 1207
