003236P.pdf   10/15/2001  St. Paul Fire  v.  Courtney Enterprises
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-3236
   District of Minnesota   
   Civil case - arbitration. By agreeing to arbitrate disputes in the 
   City of St. Paul, Courtney impliedly consented to be sued in 
   Minnesota to compel arbitration of such disputes, and district 
   court had personal jurisdiction over Courtney; Courtney's Texas 
   insurance law defense went to the merits of the underlying 
   contract claim, not the issue of arbitrability, and the district court 
   did not err in ordering arbitration.
