Heading: Summary of Decision

Text: 31 The arbitration agreement covers only disputes between GSL and Capitol. The record indicates no dispute between Capitol and GSL or Gallagher as receiver for GSL. We affirm the district court. 32 The Florida class action involves a dispute between Capitol and the annuitants. The annuitants are not bound by the arbitration agreement. Gallagher's appearance as a representative for the annuitants does not implicate his separate and distinct role as receiver for GSL. 33 There is no dispute between GSL and Capitol regarding whether Guarantee assumed all of the liabilities on the transferred annuities and whether GSL must indemnify Capitol. The record does not indicate and Capitol does not allege that GSL denies either of these propositions. Thus, there is no dispute over these propositions which must be arbitrated. 34 Last, whether Florida law authorizes Gallagher to sue as a representative on behalf of the annuity holders is irrelevant to Capitol's application for arbitration and does not affect our decision.
