   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2090
                          and No:  04-3404
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Melloy and Colloton, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Insurance. District court was required to apply Arkansas Supreme Court's decision holding that an insurance carrier's statutory subrogation lien under Ark. Code Sec. 11-9-410 is not absolute; application of the Arkansas Supreme Court's decision did not violate Arkansas's non-retroactivity rule; district court did not err in concluding that settlements had not made the injured employees whole, nor did it err in finding that Fremont, as the workers' compensation carrier, was not entitled to a subrogation lien on the settlement proceeds.
