   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  01-3984
                          and No:  02-3635
   Western District of Missouri   
   Labor law - arbitration. District court's enforcement of arbitrator's 
   award is affirmed. Employer who failed to participate in arbitration but 
   filed motion to vacate the decision preserved and raised the substantive 
   jurisdictional challenge. Employer was under a court-directed obligation 
   to arbitrate. Arbitration decision is affirmed. District court's imposition 
   of discovery sanctions and to impose alter ego liability was not an abuse 
   of discretion. The district court did not abuse its discretion in failing to 
   consider an untimely filed motion to reconsider. [PUBLISHED] [Melloy,
