United States Eleventh Circuit

District court's affirmance of bankruptcy court's denial of motion to compel arbitration is reversed as this is not a core proceeding and there is no evidence that arbitrating defendant's claim against plaintiff would inherently conflict with the underlying purposes of the Bankruptcy Code and, thus, the dispute is subject to arbitration under the terms of the arbitration agreement.
