   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-1948
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Shepherd, Circuit Judge, and
   Erickson, District Judge]
Civil case - Consumer law. Validity of assignment was matter for the court, rather than an arbitrator, to decide; plaintiff's obligation to arbitrate a dispute over her credit card debt was not terminated when she settled the debt; this continuing obligation to arbitrate gave the credit card company a present interest in the contract, and its assignment of that interest to defendant was valid; case remanded with direction to compel arbitration.
