   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-2443
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Ft. Smith   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Insurance. When a case is removed from state court to federal 
   court, and proceeds to final judgment, the state court's orders entered 
   before removal are merged into the final judgment of the federal court and 
   may be reviewed on appeal whether or not the district court elected to 
   reexamine them after removal; the district court erred in finding it 
   lacked jurisdiction to vacate a state court's summary judgment order after 
   the case was removed; the Rooker-Feldman doctrine has no application to a 
   properly removed case; the district court had jurisdiction to consider 
   defendant's motion to vacate the summary judgment order; the Arkansas 
   court erred in granting plaintiff summary judgment as both parties had 
   submitted plausible explanations for plaintiff's condition, supported by 
   medical opinion, and that was enough for defendant to avoid summary 
   judgment; reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
