Ackerman v. Eber (In re Eber)

Procedural posture

Plaintiffs appealed a U.S. District Court for the Central District of California order affirming a bankruptcy court's refusal to compel Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) arbitration of their claims of breach of contract and fiduciary duty and fraud against defendant debtor. The debtor argued the claims were core proceedings under 28 U.S.C.S. § 157(b)(2)(I), an arbitrator could not decide dischargeability under 11 U.S.C.S. § 523(a)(2), (4), (6).
