SID RILEY AND DOTTIE SUE RILEY CLAIMANTS

CASE NO.: 4.07-CV00000505 GTE

v. AAA Matter Number 71 148 E 00217 06

CHASE BANK USA, N.A.

RESPONDENTS

JUDGMENT

On this 5th day of September, 2007, this cause of action having been submitted to

this Court upon motion of plaintiff Chase Bank USA, N.A. (“Chase”) for confirmation of

an arbitration award and its accompanying exhibits, this Court finds:

1. Defendants Sid Riley and Dottie Sue Riley opened a credit card account

(the “Account”) with FCC National Bank in or about September 1994. The Account was

purchased by First USA Bank, N.A., the predecessor in interest to Chase. 

2. The Account was governed at all times by a card member agreement

(“CMA”) and a change in terms notice (“CIT”). Pursuant to the CMA and the CIT,

disputes between Chase and the Rileys were to be resolved through binding arbitration. 

3. On or about March 30, 2006, the Rileys filed an Arbitration Claim with

the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) against Chase. The Riley’s Arbitration

Claim alleged violations of the Fair Credit Billing Act (“FCBA”), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1666-

1666j, and the Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1601-1667f.

4. In October 2006, pursuant to the rules of the AAA, Arbitrator David M.

Fuqua issued a Stipulated Award that dismissed, with prejudice, all of the claims asserted

in the Rileys’ Arbitration Claim. A copy of this award is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

Case 4:07-cv-00505-GTE Document 3 Filed 09/05/07 Page 1 of 15
The Award stated that the Rileys remained fully obligated to Chase for the balance on the

credit card account related to the Rileys’ Arbitration Claim, as reflected in Chase’s

records. This obligation includes, but is not limited to, all finance charges, interest and

other fees which previously accrued on the Account.

5. Pursuant to Rules 54 and 58 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and

§§ 9 and 13 of the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), Chase moved this Court to enter a

final judgment by confirming the Stipulated Award.

6. As required by 9 U.S.C. § 9, Sid Riley and Dottie Sue Riley were served

with notice of the motion for confirmation of the Stipulated Award. Copies of the

motion were sent to the Rileys by certified mail, and each accepted the documents and

executed a return receipt on May 19, 2007. Such service is proper under Rule 4 of the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

7. This Court has jurisdiction over the motion to confirm the arbitration

award pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 9, because the Stipulated Award was made in this district. 

Venue is proper because the Rileys are residents of the district in which the award was

made.

IT IS, THEREFORE, CONSIDERED ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that

Chase’s motion to adopt the Stipulated Award is granted, and the Stipulated Award is

confirmed by the Court as a final judgment.
