French v. Wachovia Bank, No. 08-2197

In an arbitration dispute, district court judgment is affirmed where: 1) the present court has jurisdiction over defendant's appeal as an interlocutory appeal from the order denying arbitration was appropriate under Federal Arbitration Act sec. 16(a)(1); and 2) the district court properly denied the motion to compel arbitration as the operative complaint contained no arbitrable claim.
